Feature interview: The Bhutan Prime Minister, Tshering Tobgay

From Afternoons, 3:10 pm on 17 December 2024

Small countries have a habit of punching above their weight.  New Zealanders know that too well. Four countries that are small in size, but mighty in their commitment to tackling climate change have come together to launch the G-ZERO forum.  Announced by the Prime Minister of Bhutan at the UN COP 29 meeting last month, the countries pledge to remain carbon negative and show the world what's possible in the goal to reduce carbon emissions. We'll talk to Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay about the G-ZERO initiative and his hope that the world will start redefining its broken relationship with the planet.
