Aotearoa New Zealand’s Turning Point

The $64 billion climate proposition

Time is running out to act on climate change with its impacts being felt by us all. But with disruption comes the opportunity to be bold, and shift our mindset to reap significant rewards for our economy and future generations of Kiwis. 

Our economic modelling shows decisive action could deliver $64 billion to New Zealand's economy by 2050. With inadequate action, we stand to lose $4.4 billion. 

The case is clear. It’s time for both business and government to be resolute, to lead, and to take practical climate action today towards a more prosperous economic outcome for tomorrow. Aotearoa is counting on it.
