“We have not come here to beg world leaders to care. We have come here to let you know that change is coming whether you like it or not.” – Greta Thunberg at COP 24 – the UN Climate Change Conference in 2018.
The climate crisis is upon us and Parliament will shortly receive the first budget from the Climate Commission setting targets for lowering emissions and reducing our carbon footprint. But when impacts don’t fall equally, how do we have a careful climate revolution? And can individual lifestyle changes make any difference without change to the systems in the bigger picture?
James Renwick is a climate researcher who studies Southern Hemisphere climate variability, and the impacts of climate change on the Pacific, New Zealand and the Antarctic.

He was awarded the Prime Minister’s 2018 prize for Science Communication, and was appointed to the New Zealand Climate Change Commission in 2019.
