Islands for the Future of Humanity is actively engaging with New Zealand government consultations and inquiries to advocate for comprehensive catastrophic risk preparedness that extends far beyond traditional emergency management. Our submissions emphasize that robust planning for worst-case scenarios, including global supply chain collapse, extended fuel disruptions, and cascading infrastructure failures, creates wide-ranging benefits that strengthen Aotearoa New Zealand's everyday resilience and prosperity. By developing domestic fuel production capacity, building crisis-ready infrastructure systems, and adopting all-hazards approaches to nationally significant risks, New Zealand can achieve greater energy sovereignty, accelerate beneficial mode shifts toward sustainable transport, and unlock positive economic drivers through strategic investments in distributed renewable energy systems and local manufacturing capabilities. This comprehensive resilience planning not only protects against catastrophic risks but also positions Aotearoa New Zealand as a more self-reliant, economically robust, and strategically independent nation in an increasingly uncertain global environment.
