A Careful Revolution Towards a Low-Emissions Future

‘There can be little doubt that this will be a revolution. The choice, really, is about how we bring it upon ourselves.’ Climate change is happening and the potential long-term costs are incalculable. But how do we manage the short-term costs of mitigation? Join authors David Hall and Maria Bargh as they discuss whether a revolution can be ‘careful’, and how to ensure a tika transition in true partnership with Māori.
