New op-ed: New Zealand just moved to shield big climate polluters from lawsuits. Sounds like a win for business? Our Fernando Hernandez (trade & investment policy) and Prof Jane Kelsey explain why it could instead cost NZ exporters billions. Worth a read: newsroom.co.nz/2026/07/17/i...

It’s not climate lawsuits that will cost NZ exporters billions; it’s the shortsighted bet to ban them
NZ is about to give climate emitters blanket immunity; the EU will punish us for it
