The Canadian Wildfires and Aotearoa's Global Humanitarian Efforts w/ Angela Wilton, 28 September, 2023

Due to the effects of the climate crisis, there has been an unprecedented rise in environment-related disasters across the world.

Beginning in March, Canada has experienced a surge of wildfires leading to the evacuation of over 150,000 people.

In support, organisations within Aotearoa have provided international additional aid to support the recovery of struggling communities - including the deployment of 92 kiwi firefighters to battle the blaze.

Ashley-Rose Redstone spoke to Director of International Development at Oxfam, Angela Wilton about her experience witnessing the wildfires and Aotearoa’s role in providing global humanitarian aid.
