Jonathan Boston: Victoria University Emeritus Professor on IAG criticising New Zealand's approach to climate change

from Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive · host Newstalk ZB

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."  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
