Opening sentence
Ko ai te whenua me te moana, ko te whenua me te moana ko au.
I am the land and ocean and the land and ocean are me.
'Kiwis in Climate' offers hope and inspiration for climate change solutions in Aotearoa. Over 30 New Zealanders contributed to the book, each sharing their journey in protecting our environment. Their experiences and backgrounds are wide-ranging, including lawyers, business people, youth, scientists, te Ao Māori experts, and more.
Some contributing authors are widely known, but many will be unfamiliar. Hearing from everyday people who have taken bold and determined action is inspiring, and counteracts the doom and gloom often associated with climate change texts. Our Kiwi ingenuity and community-mindedness really shines through.
The essays are divided into four parts: context, community, business and government. A reader can dip in and out by reading one essay at a time or read from cover to cover. This book is most suitable for ages 12+ and a must-have for any high school library. 'Kiwis in Climate' would make a great gift for the passionate environmentalist in your life.
