OCD Webinar 7pm Wednesday 20th November

Catherine Leining joined us at 7pm on Wednesday 20th November with a presentation followed by a discussion on how offshore mitigation might be used to help Aotearoa meet its 2030 target under the Paris Agreement, while also helping reach our targets without doing harm.

The world is not on track to prevent dangerous climate change. Cooperation between developed and developing countries is essential to bridge serious gaps in climate mitigation ambition, climate finance and equity.

Catherine currently serves as a Policy Fellow at Motu Economic and Public Policy Research, and was appointed to He Pou a Rangi NZ Climate Change Commission in late 2019. She also served as a negotiator on the NZ delegation to the UNFCC negotiations, and is a joint author with Sasha Maher and Hannah Kotula of a Motu paper in 2024 titled: “Think globally, act cooperatively: Progressing offshore mitigation for Aotearoa New Zealand.” She will be speaking in her Motu capacity.
