Mike Smith (Ngapuhi, Ngati Kahu), of Change Iwi Leaders Group, has lodged proceedings in the High Court against seven companies he claims are failing to protect Maori from climate change (never mind about the rest of us). “Maori are particularly vulnerable to climate change, being Disproportionately represented amongst the poor,
