It is about time. It is long past time, in fact, because scientists tell us that, actually, 2030 will be a tipping point, and 2030 is not that far away. If we don't get our emissions under control, and if we don't have an economic transformation that can reduce our emissions well before then, then we are actually going to lock in a high-emission climate future, where we have more violent storms, more extreme weather patterns, more devastating droughts, rising seas swamping our coastal communities in Aotearoa and in the Pacific.
