For our weekly catch-up with the ACT Party, News Director Castor spoke to MP Simon Court about the government’s fuel management plan.
They also spoke to Professor of Climate Science and Physical Geography at Victoria University, James Renwick, about 2025 being one of the hottest years on record and what can be done about it from a policy perspective.
And they spoke to Principal Science Advisor with the Department of Conservation, Drew Bingham, about how increasing temperatures impact conservation efforts.
Producer Thomas spoke to Health Coalition Aotearoa CoChair and Professor of Population Nutrition and Global Health, Boyd Swinburn about a new South Auckland food security report and its findings.
It's been a killer weekend - but Rosetta and Milly are back in the studio leading you through your Rāhina! E whai ake nei, coming up on the show today: Whakataukī o Tēnei Wiki with Arini Loader, This Is How We Brew It with Christian, and Loose Reads with Jenna! Whakarongo mai nei.
Health Coalition Aotearoa and Healthy Families South Auckland have recently released a report looking at food security issues in South Auckland and actions which can be taken to improve access to affordable, nutritious food in these areas.
The report recommended multiple measures which could be taken such as expanding Ka Ora Ka Ako the Healthy School Lunches programme through a sugary drinks tax, giving communities a say in how many junk food outlets are in their neighbourhoods and allowing Auckland Council to better utilize underused public land for kai initiatives.
Its main call to action, however, is to ensure solutions are community-led with a collaborative approach from local and central government, to guarantee those suffering are being put first in systematic fights against the industrial food complex and economic inequality.
To discuss the report and its findings producer Thomas spoke to Health Coalition Aotearoa CoChair and Professor of Population Nutrition and Global Health, Boyd Swinburn
A new report by the World Meteorological Organization has found that 2025 was among the three hottest years on record.
High temperatures pose significant risks for our native wildlife, particularly our shorebirds, fish, and alpine birds. As we see a change in the needs of our native species, many of which are already endangered, the response from the Department of Conservation must also change.
To discuss what DOC is doing as climate change continues to impact conservation efforts, News Director Castor spoke to Principal Science Advisor with the Department of Conservation, Drew Bingham.
A report published by the World Meteorological Organisation found that 2025 was the second or third hottest year on record. As temperatures increase due to climate change and emissions, the world’s governments are seeing a similar increase in pressure to act.
In New Zealand, often the narratives around climate change are that our impact through generating emissions or reducing emissions would be minimal, due to our low population. Despite that, the impact of climate change on our country and on our pacific allies is significant.
To discuss what New Zealand can do in the face of rising temperatures and what our role is in responding to climate change, News director Castor spoke to Professor of Climate Science and Physical Geography at Victoria University of Wellington, James Renwick.
