Is climate change an insurmountable challenge?

This conversation occurred at the New Zealand Institute of International Affairs flagship conference in Wellington on June 2025. Climate change is one of the gravest threats to New Zealand’s security and prosperity, and ultimately our wellbeing. The New Zealand Government has three priorities in addressing this challenge, including climate diplomacy and international negotiations, supporting climate action and resilience in the Pacific region, and supporting a domestic transition at home. But is what New Zealand and the global community doing sufficient? What more can be done to address and mitigate climate change internationally, while mitigating potential negative economic, social and environmental issues. This expert group discusses such questions. Moderated by Esther Guy-Meakin, NZIIA Board Chlöe Swarbrick MP, Co-Leader of the Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand Kate Wilson Butler, Chapman Tripp Kristy Harrison, Stantec Support the show
