	Description:		Over the last week Nelson has been devastated by floods. Homes have been rendered unlivable, roads have been damaged, landslides have led to evacuations and the rural community has been submerged in some areas. This isn’t the first time Nelson’s been hit like this, and it’s likely that it won’t be the last time we see devastation of this magnitude. So how prepared are we for the ongoing impact of climate change, and do we need more immediate measures put in place? Today, Damien talks to freelance photographer Tim Cuff, who will give us a snapshot of the damage that’s been caused to Nelson, before being joined by Climate Change Minister James Shaw to discuss the impact climate change is already have on New Zealand.
