The fifth webinar of the Ngā Kōrero series explores the relationship between our changing climate and the ocean.
Our guest speakers addressed:

Our speakers left us with some fabulous take home messages which we would like to highlight as a brief guide as to how to take ‘climate action’:
#1 Talk about it. Make climate change part of your conversations with others – make some noise about it.
#2 Use your voting power. We’ve got to get the right government in charge to make the changes we need, so write to MPs and ministers. Put pressure on government to make changes that affects how the economy operates, which has a global impact.
#3 Remember that your individual actions make a difference. Care about your energy use. Walk, bike and take public transport whenever you can.
