A Green New Deal for Aotearoa? with Metiria Turei MP
Where: Lake Wanaka Centre
The most exciting thing the Green MPs are working on at present is how to solve the twin crises of economic recession and climate change/environmental collapse. It is completely within our reach to create more jobs, address the climate crisis as well as the economic crisis, and leave the economy in a stronger position.
The world over, many Governments are responding to the recession with practical realistic ideas that recognise the economy and the environment go hand in hand. So far, Green New Deal packages have been announced in the US, France, Germany, Denmark, Spain, Australia, Korea, China, and Mexico. New Zealand is lagging behind and our future, and that of our children, depends on us acting on this issue right now before it gets any worse.
