Address at Chapter Zero New Zealand

On 8 November 2024, the Commissioner gave a speech at a meeting of Chapter Zero New Zealand in Auckland.

This speech was entitled: Environment and economics: A marriage of (in)convenience – The business edition. It outlined five unpalatable realities that businesses need to confront in terms of the environment. This is a companion speech to an address given earlier this year at the Environmental Defence Society Conference, which detailed five inconvenient truths that environmentalists need to face.

Read the speech.
