This is an affirmation that this House has heard the call of our rangatahi, of our taiohi, asking that we turn our minds and make a declaration that climate change is in a state of emergency. This is an affirmation that we have heard the calls of our friends, our relations from throughout the Pasifika nations, asking that we declare that the climate is in a state of emergency. We have heard the call from our scientists for generations that have been stating on the best basis of the science available to us that our climate is in a state of emergency. And I want to acknowledge the leadership of the Rt Hon Jacinda Ardern, who said only three years ago, when she stood at the Throne for the first time as our Prime Minister, that this, climate change, is the nuclear moment of our generation. And there was a call that went up and down the nation in affirmation of those words, because we know that climate change demands a complete change in the way that we have done things.
