  • Summary

  • This week James catches up with the former chief strategist and senior advisor to President Obama, David Axelrod.


    James and David talk about the tensions between consensus building and the need for urgent action when it comes to climate action. They also talk about the need to tell a positive story about how climate action will benefit people's lives.


    David shares his experience of working on 150 campaigns across the U.S., including Barrack Obama's two historic elections in 2008 and 2012, and highlights the importance of bringing people along on the journey net-zero.


    Obama himself has said his administration did not “adapt quickly enough to the fact that there were people being left behind and that frustrations were going to flare up.” This is something we will all need to be aware of. 


    As always, we'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback at james.shaw@parliament.govt.nz.
