Election 2020: The big climate hole
MEDIA RELEASE, 28 September 2020
Health professionals have expressed surprise at the silence around this century’s biggest population health threat in the 2020 general election.
“We have found that even some of our major parties have either no plans on what to do about climate change or have ones which are actively harmful. Having no good climate policy today is a bit like having no public health policy during a pandemic,” said Dr Dermot Coffey, Co-convenor of OraTaiao: NZ Climate & Health Council, on releasing an election scorecard today.
