Roger Childs: We Need the Truth on the World Stage


“Māori climate activist India Logan-Riley gave a rousing speech at the opening of the United Nations climate summit in Glasgow earlier today - and had a stark warning for world leaders listening to them.” New Zealand Herald, 1st November 2021

Who is representing us in Glasgow?

The US president has been there, the prime minister of the United Kingdom, the French president, the prime minister of India and a host of other world leaders as well, but no Jacinda Ardern. New Zealand’s Climate Change Minister James Shaw and his entourage of nine are there for this week’s discussion phase, so did anyone speak for our country on the opening day?

Part-Maori India Logan-Riley did – heard of her? – apparently she spoke for the world’s indigenous groups, but no doubt the distinguished listeners – some of the most powerful people on the planet - would have assumed she represented the views of our country. But what did she say?
