New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern Set to Declare Climate Emergency

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern‘s government is set to declare a climate emergency in a symbolic step to increase pressure for action to combat global warming.
The Greenpeace New Zealand is urging the New Zealand government to declare climate emergency due to catastrophic loss of life and people facing more extreme weather events in the country due to climate change.
In November 2019, the parliament of New Zealand passed the Zero Carbon Act. According to the act, New Zealand commits to zero carbon emissions by 2050.
Recently the Japanese lawmakers declared a climate emergency. Under the climate emergency they have framed a timetable for net zero emissions.
If the climate emergency is passed in New Zealand it will join the other countries such as France, Canada and Britain that have taken significant course of actions on tackling climate change. The countries that have passed Climate Emergency are Portugal, France, Canada, UK.
