Jonathan Boston: Victoria University Emeritus Professor on IAG criticising New Zealand's approach to climate change
Published 2 weeks, 1 day ago
Description
Insurer IAG says political parties should join in making New Zealand more resilient to climate change.
Its new report highlights our recovery bill is north of $4.2 billion dollars every year.
It says New Zealand has major gaps in climate adaptation - and no clear strategy, a lack of consistent and effective rules, poor funding tools and no incentives.
Victoria University Emeritus Professor Jonathan Boston says it's a tough political sell.
"It's a kind of lose-lose situation, there are very few brownie points in not preparing people for disasters."
