Living with the Climate Crisis: Voices from Aotearoa

Description

The devastating summer of Australian bushfires underlined a terrifying sense of a world pushed to the brink. Then came Covid-19, and with it another dramatic lurch away from business as usual. Some observers are worried that the all-consuming effort to control the pandemic will distract us from the longterm challenge of limiting catastrophic climate change. At the same time, many people are hoping for a 'green Covid-19 recovery': a cleaner, fairer and safer world. This BWB Text brings together matauranga Maori and Pasifika perspectives, voices from academia, activism, journalism and economics to bear witness to these troubled times. Contributors: Patrick Crewdson, Shaun Hendy, Ingrid Horrocks, Maia Ingoe, Suzi Kerr, Ollie Langridge, Meg Mundell, Jess Pasisi, Jacqueline Paul, Tamatha Paul, James Renwick, Aroha Spinks and Taa Ramsay Vili.
