Students are demanding urgent action on climate change – saying it is still not being treated as a catastrophe. “The reason why we’re continuing to protest is we expect more urgent, emergency action,” the Nayland College student said. Martin De Ruyter/Stuff Nayland College student Emma Barnes-Wetere says action to reverse climate change is not happening fast enough, despite government climate emergencies. She has organised a youth climate crisis protest, in Nelson on Saturday. MORNING REPORT/RNZ Parliament has declared a climate emergency noting the "devastating impact" volatile weather will have on New Zealand.
