NEW ZEALAND – New Zealand is about to declare a climate emergency – here’s what that means (Praveen Menon, Reuters, World Economic Forum)

The Prime Minister of New Zealand, Jacinda Ardern, is putting forward a motion to declare a climate emergency on Wednesday.
If passed, New Zealand would join countries like Canada, France and Britain in similar efforts on tackling climate change.
Ardern returned to power in October, after winning the biggest election victory for her centre-left Labour Party in half a century.
