“We don’t have time to talk about the problems anymore. We need to take action now. The science hasn’t changed, we need to have actions starting immediately. We have the power, we are the ones emitting this stuff we can stop.”

We speak with Prof. James Renwick, School of Geography, Environment, and Earth Sciences at VUW. He is a researcher with broad knowledge of climate change, studying the weather and climate of Aotearoa and the Pacific. He is also an author on the last three IPCC Assessment reports. Renwick speaks on the urgency of change and how he deals with climate anxiety.
