Whakarauora Āhuarangi
Climate Solution
Tena koutou katoa. Hoping everyone has had a great festive season and are gearing up to an effective 2022. This is a year of hope. COP 27, November 2022, is holding countries accountable to meeting the Paris Agreement of 1.5 degrees post industrial warming. After the totally inadequate COP26 (but with some significant movement in the right direction) we need to increase the pressure on our Government to get real movement. The science is clear. The goals from COP26 will take the planet to 4+degrees warming. Read David Willis Wells to see the predictions for this.
In Tamaki Makauraru (Auckland) Extinction Rebellion is starting early going hard and fast. Please consider what you can do to help us have a positive effect. Aotearoa New Zealand could so easily be like Cost Rica – reversed deforestation and 2019 created a national zero carbon plan
