"The science has never been clearer: we have irreversibly altered our planet and are already experiencing the impacts of
climate change with temperatures 1.1C degrees higher than pre-industrial levels. If we don't stop and reverse this trend
now, our planet will not be able to sustain life as we currently know it.
The good news, we haven't yet reached the point of no return. Yet. It's still possible to limit temperature rises to
1.5C but not unless we act boldly and swiftly to make this happen. If we want a healthy, sustainable future for our
tamariki and mokopuna, every single New Zealander, business, organisation, local and national government must commit to
ambitious climate action to reduce emissions and prioritise the protection and regeneration of our unique and ancient
biodiversity. We all have a role to play. Our future depends on what we do today. Together, we can do this,” says
WWF-New Zealand CEO Livia Esterhazy.
