Over 90% of Kiwis who submitted on the #ZeroCarbonBill want government to set a target of at least net zero emissions across all gases by 2050. That’s incredible. #ZeroCarbonAct #OurClimateYourSay...
One hour left to have your voice heard on the #ZeroCarbonAct - get into it! http://www.wwf.org.nz/zerocarbonact #ZeroCarbonBill #OurClimateYourSay #BackTheAct
Only one aspect of the @GenZeroNZ #ZeroCarbonAct proposal didn’t get any reference in the #OurClimateYourSay consultation document: transparency on #climate finance: http://zerocarbonact.nz/supporting-global-action/
Submit now to call for it to be in the #ZeroCarbonBill >>>...
Okay. Um. Literally everything that last guy said was wrong. #OurClimateYourSay
Huge applause as @LisaMcLaren2013 from @GenZeroNZ stands to ask her question: “How will government embed Just Transitions and Te Tiriti into the #ZeroCarbonBill in a very practical way?” #ZeroCarbonAct #OurClimateYourSay
Interesting question from the #OurClimateYourSay consultation: should the #Climate Change Commission have a policy role (UK-style), or also a public communications role (Australian-style, though now independent from government)?
“The #ZeroCarbonBill creates predictability and certainty,” says @jamespeshaw, before laying out the policy planks that @GenZeroNZ started the call for back in 2016. Learn about the original #ZeroCarbonAct idea here: http://www.zerocarbonact.nz #OurClimateYourSay
New Zealanders back the #ZeroCarbonBill. Last month, @WWFNewZealand delivered an open letter signed by over 200 NZ businesse, community groups, and leaders to @jamespeshaw. www.wwf.org.nz/take_action/climate_chan...

“The difference between the existing target of halving NZ’s emissions put in place by John Key ten years ago and cutting emissions to zero is actually quite marginal. And it is very likely that the benefits will outweigh the costs.” - @jamespeshaw #OurClimateYourSay
“Finally, we are actually on the verge of being able to do something about [#climate change]”, says @jamespeshaw, before appealing to Wellington’s innovators. #OurClimateYourSay
Last summer, the Tasman Sea was 6C warmers than average. 2018 already on track to be the most expensive year ever for #climate induced insurance claims - @jamespeshaw #OurClimateYourSay
Standing room only for @GenZeroNZ #ZeroCarbonAct campaigners at the back of the Wellington #OurClimateYourSay consultation.

Included in the NZIER #OurClimateYourSay economic models released today: If we decarbonise too quickly, it will probably hurt our economy.
Not included in the models: if we decarbonise too slowly, it will probably hurt our chance of avoiding extinction-level #climate impacts.
