Zero Carbon Bill submissions exceed 13,000

Kua aukati te wa tuku tono ki te pire Āhuarangi, ā, he tekau ma toru mano neke atu nga tono kua tau. Ko tā te Minita Take Āhuarangi a James Shaw he nui ngā hiahia ngā āwangawanga hoki i puta e Ngāi Māori.

E ai ki te Minita Take Āhuarangi a James Shaw nā te Māori te tini o ngā kōrero tāpae mō te kaupapa nei.

"Māori are very interested in ensuring that there is an ambitious plan for climate change because Māori interests are so affected by climate change."

Ko ētahi kaupapa matua ko tēra o te whakamarumaru kai, te wai hoki, me ngā āwangawanga ka pā pea ki te hunga pakihi.

Ko tā Shaw "kind of a concern or wanting a plan for knowing how it is going to affect the Māori economy. Particularly the land based industries obviously because iwi are so heavily invested in that."

Tuia ki tēra ko te piki o nga tai, ngā awaawa hoki me ngā pēhitanga o te āhuarangi.

"Of course a lot of marae were situated very close to the sea in order to access the sea and fishing and so on. Now that the sea levels are rising and that's leading to increased flood events, erosion, and damage to buildings and property and of course that trend is only set to continue."

Ka whai wāhi anō te marea te tuku kōrero i tēnei tau whai muri te taenga o te pire ki Paremata.
