The Greens are reiterating the importance of combating climate change, concerned Kiwi buy-in appears to be fading.
An Ipsos report shows the proportion of New Zealanders concerned about the impact of climate change in Aotearoa has fallen from 80 percent two years ago - to 69 percent.
Greens Environment spokesperson Lan Pham says ignoring the climate crisis, will not make the problem go away.
"We know communities are really struggling at the moment - and it's hard for people to think of the future when they're actually having to focus on surviving the cost of living crisis."

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, let me tell you about the Bid Shark six.
This is the cool new ute that's been released by Bid.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Now.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
I've been driving this ute for a week now, and
let me tell you, it is going to be hard
to make me give this ute back because it is fantastic.
It's a hybrid, but you don't need to worry about
range anxiety because you've got a cool eight hundred k range.
Eighty of that is electric. It's enough to get you
around the city wherever you live, and then you can
hit the petro if you need to go further than that.
If you're a trady, you're gonna love the fact that
(00:27):
you've got three point plugs in the back to run
your gear off. If you're a boaty, you're gonna love
the fact that this can actually toe up to two
and a half thousand cages. And if you're a mum
like me, you're gonna love the space. Heaps of leg
room inside the cab, heaps of gear space in the
tray for all of the gear and three year old boys,
it turns out, love utes, so very easy to get
them into the car. It's got three hundred and sixty
(00:48):
degree cameras to help you park censors everywhere and a
five star and cap rating. You can drive away in
one from just sixty nine, nine hundred and ninety dollars
plus on road cost. So check it out. Go to
byd auto dot co dot nz together either if Mark
Lundy gets out, he's going to be shocked how crap
New Zealand is now. He might well get out And
so I actually can I go back in because I
don't like the state of the place nineteen past five.
(01:10):
Now New Zealanders are getting a little bit apathetic, it
turns out when it gets it comes to climate change.
According to a recent survey by IPSOS, eighty percent of
US were worried about the effects of climate change on
New Zealand back in twenty twenty three, but that number
is now down to sixty nine percent now. Lan Farm
is the Green Party spokesperson for the environment and with us. Now, hey, Lan,
sure he was just depressing. I'm well, thanks, mate. Is
(01:32):
this depressing for you?
Speaker 2 (01:35):
I think I think it's really sad, but it's unfortunately
not surprising. Like we know, communities are really struggling at
the moment, and it's hard for people to think of
the future when they're actually having to focus on surviving
the cost of living crisis.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Yes, is true. I also thought eighty percent of us
worried about the effects of climate change in twenty twenty
three is probably an indication that we had cyclone Gabrielle
hit the Esque value and we were told it was
about climate change in twenty twenty three, don't you think?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Yeah, and it's still coming. I mean, we know what's happening,
you know, thinking of the communities up north right now,
climate change is absolutely here and unfortunately, you know, we're
going to see increasing impacts.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Do you think that that many of us actually care?
I mean, I look at another of it says the
number of Kiwis who think we should be doing more
about the climate has gone from sixty four percent to
fifty four percent over the last year. But I wonder
how many of those numbers are real and whether actually
all that happens is you feel like you have to
say you care about the climate when you're asked by
a survey, but for the most part, you don't care
and you just catch your flight to Fiji. Anyway.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Yeah, I think what we're saying here that is, you know,
this cost of living crisis is making people think about
their more immediate future. The thing is, though, with the
climate crisis and the biodiversity crisis is that even if
we're not paying attention to it and ignoring it, it's
not making the problem go away. And we're still going
(03:03):
to have to take actual action if we're going to
address it. So that's what we're trying to stay focused on,
like actually acting now for the future as well as
addressing what people need today.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
How's it going in the Green pat Are you guys
feeling o Cave had a rough run lately?
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Yeah, we're feeling really good. We're actually feeling really determined
at the moment. We're working on a budget that we're
going to be releasing in the next few weeks that
actually spous out how New Zealand would move towards, you know,
this actually climate friendly future, which would actually mean you know,
cheaper costs and better living for everyone.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Do you know what you could trademark that better living?
Everyone haven't heard that before? Hey, thanks very much, Land thing.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
That could be on the next billboard.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
You know what, how much did you love the defund
the police billboards?
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Then? Yeah, I think that was like a really great
way to draw attention to the fact that we do
need to have some really serious conversations about justice in
this country and how.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
You want to defund the police.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Lan I really back and agree with what Tammitha was
saying in terms of, you know, there's a whole bunch
of agencies out there in our community that would be
better place than the police to actually respond to the
very serious issues that are in our community.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Cool Man, Hey, listen, looking forward to your budget. Can't
wait to see a land farm Green Party spokesperson for
the environment. For more from Hither Duplessy Allen Drive, listen
