Why New Zealand needs to change our approach to climate migration w/ World Vision’s Dr Olivia Yates: 20 June, 2024

Wire Host Caeden spoke about this issue with World Vision’s Dr Olivia Yates. They started by asking why there is a need to introduce new immigration policy relating to climate change in the Pacific.
