In one sentence, what is climate change?
It's a pandora's box of troubles caused by the misuse of our planet's resources resulting in increased greenhouse gases, seal level rise, droughts, fires, storms, which we can and must fix with fun, seriousness and tenacity.

How does climate change affect your life?
A big part of my working life is dedicated to publicising information and solutions because the Royal Society of New Zealand sees it as being a very important issue we must deal with now.

What do you feel you can do about it?
A lot by engaging business, governments, communities and individuals.

Do you feel there is more you could do? If so, what is stopping you from doing those things?
Always, time.

What's your favourite Sunday afternoon activity?
Walking in the Karori sanctuary, enjoying native plants, listening to native birds of New Zealand with friends and family.
