We urgently need Z Energy @zenergynz to develop clean fuels to help us solve the climate crisis. So far, it's excelling at selling takeaway coffees. newsroom.co.nz/z-energy-need…

your homes, cars, utes, tractors and workplaces and being such an engaged audience. I'll be back on Nine to Noon from time to time, particularly on our co-crises of climate breakdown and ecosystem degradation...and business's roles in helping us solve them.

Meanwhile, here's the link to this morning's session where I reflect a bit, later in our discussion, on why I do what I do...Ngā mihi nui, Rod rnz.co.nz/national/programme…

Business commentator Rod Oram

Rod talks to Kathryn about Silver Fern Farms' vow to make its meats net carbon zero. Also, the climate commitments of most G20 countries stilll falling short of the UN's 1.5c degree goal.

Tell the Climate Commission what actions NZ must take on the climate crisis. This is absolutely our last chance. If this democratic process fails, then non-violent civil disobedience is our only recourse. newsroom.co.nz/rod-oram-spea… @NewsroomNZ @ClimateCommNZ @jacindaardern

Speak up for our future, tell the Climate Commission what you think

Can you spare an hour? For the sake of our future?
