COP28 in Dubai marked a pivotal moment in global climate action, uniting leaders and change-makers to address the most pressing challenges of our time. For New Zealand, it was an opportunity to reflect on our climate commitments, strengthen regional partnerships, and amplify the voices of our Pacific neighbors—those on the frontlines of the climate crisis.
I was privileged to join these critical conversations and explore New Zealand’s evolving role on the global stage. From addressing reputational expectations to understanding the urgent priorities of Pacific nations, COP28 was a chance to listen, learn, and collaborate for meaningful progress.
Key Themes from COP28:
New Zealand’s Global Reputation: How we’re perceived in our climate efforts and where we must improve.
Pacific Concerns: The urgency of supporting our Pacific neighbors, who face the greatest risks from rising sea levels and extreme weather events.
A Shared Responsibility: The importance of aligning leadership, innovation, and actionable commitments to drive tangible results.
