NZ distant from New York climate talks, isolated from the world

At the United Nations, the Secretary-General warns world leaders ‘our planet is burning’, says Newsroom, but here in New Zealand, unambitious business leaders fail to set 1.5C climate targets. Further, dairy co-op Fonterra has withdawn from the Science-Based Targets Initiative because it wasn’t willing to set goals to cut methane emissions from livestock. Potentially our Climate Leaders Coalition could live up to its name. But to do so it must be far more engaged across the economy; and, most importantly of all, with politicians of all parties.
