BWB Text: Time of Useful Consciousness

'The bottom line question is: what actions in this time period are truly vital, and will we take them?'Our climate is changing, in ways that will have long-term impacts for us and for our children. Yet still we fail to take meaningful action. Why? And when will it be too late?Ralph Chapman argues that we have only 'a small and shrinking window of time' before the pressures from climate change become too great for us to address them coherently. This BWB Text is a practical call to arms for New Zealand citizens and policy makers alike, identifying the actions that are urgent and critical for the creation of a green economy and a sustainable future.
