"Today's report is a further blow to the rule of law in Aotearoa," says Laura MacKay, Acting Executive Director of Lawyers for Climate Action NZ. Individuals, communities, councils, farmers and businesses and the New Zealand taxpayer are already paying for climate damage. Our current legislative framework does not determine who will be responsible for remedying this damage, and nor has it been effective in lowering emissions. About Lawyers for Climate Action NZ IncFounded in 2019, Lawyers for Climate Action NZ is a group of lawyers with the shared mission of using the law to drive effective climate action. Lawyers for Climate Action NZ appeared as an intervener in Smith v Fonterra.
