today the NZ climate minister implied because we signed up to transition away from fossil fuel agreement back in 2023 we didn’t need to join the 83 countries including the UK, Ireland, and the Pacific wanting to put this into action at cop 30 -leaving NZ on the side of oil states blocking action

Good grief #COP30 can’t even agree that the @ipcc.bsky.social provides the best available science! I am a critic of many elements of my county’s current climate stance but I am grateful that #nz was fighting for science on this issue!!

Ahead of COP 30 I’ve been thinking about the irony that the critics of our 1.5 IPCC report are many of the people now saying it’s too late to act because we’ve going past 1.5 & we must focus on instead on technological fixes to address overshoot - here’s why I think these arguments are distractions

What is Climate Justice? A special paper to write-it took a while! One child/school is named, but many reviewed it, improving it greatly🙏. I loved writing with Chandni Singh & Milly Woods. Part of an #IPCC kids’ Frontiers collection Eds Chris Jones & Leila Niamir kids.frontiersin.org/articles/10....

Kia ora NZ friends, if you missed the Don McGlashan & CSO orchestra last night you missed something extraordinary, & like the Marlon Williams events the feeling the current government is losing the hearts of ‘middle NZ’ was palpable -an entirely sold out town hall cheering his defence of Te Reo

Bleak world news so just sharing: my elderly mum just moved herself into a rest-home today which she picked because it’s friendly, offers weekly te reo lessons, Matariki events, marae visits & a cafe. Also some old work mates it turns out are also there-not all retirement homes are conservative 😉
