At IAG, our purpose is to make your world a safer place. That means being there for people when misfortune strikes and helping New Zealand to adapt to global issues, like climate change. Because we believe a safer world makes a better world for everyone.
In 2018 IAG asked New Zealanders about their attitudes to climate change. They told us that climate change is a serious and urgent challenge, and that they want the Government to set clear goals and lead a pragmatic and bipartisan response.
Much has changed over the past 12 months. New climate legislation has been introduced, the business community has committed to action through the Climate Leaders Coalition, and climate change is ever present in the media and public discourse. There is a sense that momentum is building, albeit not as fast as it should.
In this year’s survey we looked for changes in peoples’ attitudes and dug deeper into their expectations of how the country should adapt to the impacts of climate change. We are sharing the key results of this year’s survey in this document below, as well as comparisons to last year’s findings where there has been a material change.
If you’d like to talk more about climate change, or what you think IAG should be doing, please get in touch with us at sustainability@iag.co.nz.
