Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is declaring a climate change emergency in Parliament.
The plan to declare a climate emergency was mentioned in Parliament's business statement for this week, an informal indication of what the Government intends to place before the House.
ACT leader David Seymour described the move to declare a climate emergency as nothing more than words.
"This is a marketing stunt that won't stop one tonne of emissions. If you've got a policy, you don't need to declare an emergency. If you have to declare an emergency, maybe your policy isn't working."
Ardern defended the move, telling The AM Show now is the right time to act on the matter.
"We don't want to see the ongoing impacts of climate on coastal erosion, the impact on people's homes, [and] on Government assets. We do need to keep taking action to fulfill our responsibilities."
