No, not covid - climate change. There have been huge reports internationally, from the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), but also here in New Zealand with the Climate Commission launching its first blueprint to getting our country to carbon zero by 2050. Today The Detail's Jessie Chiang speaks to Stuff's climate change editor, Eloise Gibson, about how we're actually tracking in stopping emissions.
