Yes we are a country that must account for its emissions, but we need to think about that in the context of the region that we live in. We live in the Pacific—not Europe, not the Americas—the place on the planet that is the most vulnerable to climate inaction. Yes we need to commit to climate action in Aotearoa to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees, but we also need to ensure our immigration policy is welcoming to Pacific peoples becoming displaced by climate change.
