Check out this Haka performed last week as a challenge to world leaders to seal a fair, ambitious and binding climate change deal at the UN climate change conference.
The haka was led by world-renowned kapa haka group Te Puru o Tamaki and involved the entire audience of the 'PLANET A – Concert for the Climate'.
The plan is to project the haka onto a huge screen outside the Bella Centre in Copenhagen for all decision makers to see.
Susi Newborn, of Oxfam, said, “This was a resounding statement by the people of Aotearoa New Zealand to those who are making decisions on our behalf – Copenhagen is the time and the place to deliver a fair, ambitious and binding deal.”
“Heads of State and climate negotiators don’t need more time…they need determination. And this crowd just gave it to them.”
