Samoa Deputy PM talks Pacific climate action in NZ

Fiame Naomi Mata'afa is in New Zealand to speak at the Just Transition Summit in Taranaki today which aims to help plot New Zealand's course to a low-emissions economy.

New Zealand's government this week introduced a bill to provide a framework for the country's transition to carbon neutrality over the next 30 years.

The Taranaki summit is part of the framework's implementation.

Fiame, who is also Minister for Natural Resources and the Environment, said Samoa is pleased about the climate policy shift which is now more aligned with the Pacific's.
