Helen Clark: The Big Issues

Helen Clark's work has brought her close to the two most urgent issues of our time: climate change and the coronavirus pandemic. Last year, Clark took on the task of co-chairing the Independent Panel for Pandemic Preparedness and Response, an impartial and comprehensive review of the internationally coordinated response to COVID-19.

As editor of the new anthology "Climate Aotearoa" Clark brings together New Zealand experts to examine the climate situation as it is now, as it will be in the years to come, and what we can do about it.

In this essential hour, she discusses the findings of the COVID report, published in May, and the book, and what needs to happen to avert future catastrophe for both the planet and its occupants. In conversation with the University of Canterbury’s Bronwyn Hayward.

Please note that Helen Clark will now be appearing via video link. Tickets available via www.ticketek.co.nz
