A One News investigation has just revealed that a subsidiary of Air New Zealand has been supporting the Saudi Arabian navy.
Saudi Arabia is currently blockading neighbouring Yemen, stopping food and medicine entering the country. This has led to one of the worst humanitarian crises in recenty history, with hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths.
Noah spoke to Amnesty International Campaigns Director, Lisa Wood, about the airline's support for Saudi Arabia, and the importance of checks and balances in large companies.
Air New Zealand recently announced their withdrawal from the Science Based Targets Initiative and removal of carbon intensity reduction targets.
The company says the move was driven by a lack of availability and affordability for new aircraft and sustainable aviation fuels.
The announcement drew criticism from experts who say the original plan was unrealistic and that the target removal was unsurprising.
Producer Josef spoke with Professor of Sustainable Business at the University of Otago, and Co-Director of He Kaupapa Hononga, Otago’s Climate Change Research Network, Sara Walton; about the announcement, and what it means for New Zealand’s emissions reduction target.
