Presented by Matthew Blaikie, Auckland Council.
Climate change has been described as “humanity’s greatest threat in thousands of years” by the champion of the natural world Sir David Attenborough. Greta Thunberg, the Swedish teenage climate activist, says that we should act as if “our house is on fire.”
On 11 June 2019, members of Auckland Council’s Environment and Community Committee voted to join a growing community of cities around the world who have formally and publicly recognised the urgency for action on climate change by declaring a climate emergency.
Matthew Blaikie is a Senior Sustainability and Resilience Advisor in the Chief Sustainability Office at Auckland Council. He will be presenting on Auckland’s Climate Action Framework and what climate action means for Auckland, with a specific focus on transport.
Tuesday 13 August, 6pm
