The National-led Government’s Climate Change Strategy w/ University of Canterbury’s Bronwyn Hayward: 11 July, 2024

Climate Change Minister Simon Watts has announced a new climate strategy. The strategy is based on five core pillars including:

• Infrastructure is resilient and communities are well prepared
• Credible markets support the climate transition
• Clean energy is abundant and affordable
• World-leading climate innovation boosts the economy
• And nature-based solutions address climate change.

This strategy has been met with strong opposition from Environmental organisations such as Greenpeace, and opposition parties in Parliament. 

Wire Host Caeden spoke to the University of Canterbury’s Bronwyn Hayward about this climate strategy and how it compares to Labour’s.
