https://pureadvantage.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Establishing-new-native-forests-Lake-Hāwea-photo-David-Norton.png1120804New Zealand is already facing severe consequences from climate change such as extreme rainfall events, increasingly severe droughts, unprecedented fires, marine heatwaves, and rising sea levels. However it is the global risks that are just as important. Devastating weather events, desertification, the end of coral reefs, wildfires on a scale never seen before, water wars, the increasing abundance of climate refugees; these are the events that will further impact us by threatening global food supply and security. We need cross-party consensus on radical systemic change for a climate-positive future, and we need this now in 2023. The cost of living crisis is going to be nothing compared to the impacts of the climate crisis.
