Environmental lawyers hope to sway legislation

From Morning Report, 8:39 am on 26 November 2019

A group of lawyers are striving to win over the climate change sceptics who dismiss the young climate change activists pushing for radical action.

A new organisation, Lawyers for Climate Action will be advocating for legislation and policies that will ensure New Zealand meets or exceeds its obligations under the Paris Agreement.

They're already pushing for changes to the very laws that underpin our rights and freedoms.

Political reporter Charlie Dreaver was at Monday night's launch and filed this report.
