Managed retreat, also known as planned retreat, is a strategy for responding to climate change and rising sea levels by relocating people and assets out of harm’s way. It is a process where communities, buildings, and infrastructure are gradually evacuated from areas designated as uninhabitable or dangerous due to changing geology, extreme weather, or climate change.
In Australia, this concept is gaining traction as a necessary measure to mitigate the impacts of climate change, particularly in coastal communities. In New Zealand, managed retreat is becoming a necessary adaptation strategy to address the impacts of climate change.
That’s the official narrative.
However, independent researcher Kate Mason has exposed how this sinister scheme is using exaggerated modelling of climate change effects to designate certain areas as uninhabitable for humans. Properties in these areas are uninsurable and prices are plummeting. Of course this would be the result.
“Who is going to buy in a flood zone? Unless it’s a developer who will raze it all to the ground and build a Smart Resilient complex,” Mason said.

Shocking evidence is emerging from Australia and New Zealand of how the climate scam is being used to impose a techno-totalitarian smart-city future.
The criminocratic global imperialists often use their Commonwealth colonies to try out the most insidious escalations of their tyranny – think of Canada, New Zealand and Australia during covid. We can therefore assume that this is going to be the blueprint for the roll-out of their Fourth Industrial Revolution (“4IR”) agenda across the world.
The sinister scheme in question, called “Managed Retreat”, has been exposed by independent researcher Kate Mason on her excellent Substack blog aimed at “deconstructing 4IR narratives.” The idea is that exaggerated “modelling” of the imagined effects of “climate change” is being used to define certain areas as unsuitable for human settlement.
Working hand in hand with the state is the insurance industry – long a central part of the corrupt criminocratic empire – which deems homes in these areas to be “uninsurable”. Banks are also playing their part (of course!) saying they are unwilling to provide mortgages for these “uninsurable” properties.
In her latest article, Kate refers to a TV report about Kensington Banks, near Melbourne city centre, which has been newly declared a flood zone.
She writes: “Property prices are expected to plummet by 20 per cent. I think that’s rather conservative – who is going to buy in a flood zone? Unless it’s a developer who will raze it all to the ground and build a Smart Resilient complex”.
Meanwhile, in New Zealand, residents are up in arms about attempts to impose “retreat” from coastal areas under the pretext of a predicted rise in sea levels.
As this media report shows, they are not buying the scaremongering climate propaganda.
Tim Rees said. “I’ve lived by Paraparaumu Beach since 1965 and the beach is actually getting bigger. For 45 years I’ve dived off Kāpiti Island and the rocks are still at the same height at low tide”.
Added Tania Lees: “The science isn’t settled and there is no consensus. We don’t believe the sea levels are rising significantly and [that] we will all be flooded.” Central and local government couldn’t fund “a process on this scale”, she said. “So far, the ratepayers have paid in excess of $4 million for the Takutai Kāpiti process. “We simply can’t afford to spend more. If implemented, managed retreat would be in excess of $1 billion.”
As for the agenda behind all this, Kate writes:
Finding the information on climate change modelling and insurance has joined the dots for me regarding the enormous amount of pack-and-stack housing developments going ahead in Australia.
They’re going to need to put us all somewhere when our houses are uninsurable and we have to sell them for a pittance.
It is clear that this is ‘Resilient’ Smart Cities. Everything hooked up to the internet and data collected, stored and used as modelling to dictate increasingly dystopian government measures of control and enforcement.
By way of confirmation, she reveals that the Insurance Council of Australia, involved in Managed Retreat, works within the Public Private Partnership model and adheres to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, even being a foundation member of the United Nations Principles for Sustainable Insurance.
The UN’s smart gulag agenda was paraded in their 80-page booklet entitled ‘Centering People in Smart Cities: A playbook for local and regional governments’, as we reported in 2022.
Also in 2022, a body called the Australian Climate Council released a study which estimated that 1 in 25 of all homes and commercial buildings in the country would become effectively uninsurable by 2030 because of “worsening extreme weather events”.
As well as calling for “managed relocations”, the report stressed the need for “upscaling public investments in resilience” and to “support communities to ‘build back better’”.
It declared: “Towns, cities and communities must be rebuilt – where appropriate to do so – in a way that takes into account the inevitable future changes in climate and makes them more resilient”.
It comes as little surprise that this report was proudly showcased on the website of the World Economic Forum.
