Tim and Wav are joined by Auckland Councillor Richard Hills. Richard is the Chair of the newly formed Environment and Climate Change committee and is passionate about public transport, stopping urban sprawl and protecting our environment. We discuss what it's actually like to work in local government, if the council actually cares what we have to say, and how to effectively lobby for change in your region.

We also chat about how seriously the Council takes climate change, what declaring a climate emergency actually means and the anticipated effects of climate displacement on New Zealand, especially on our biggest city.

Find out more about Richard here and learn about Generation Zero here.
