The Prime Minister has declared a 'climate emergency' to recognise the 'devastating impact' extreme weather will have on New Zealand, and the 'alarming' loss of species. 

But while most industrial countries have reduced emissions in the last decades, New Zealand has seen some of the biggest increases in greenhouse gases. Nearly half of New Zealand's emissions come from agriculture, followed by energy - mostly transport.

ANALYSIS: With tension escalating between China and members of the Five Eyes security alliance, most recently over a Chinese tweet that used a doctored image to attack Australia, New Zealand is arguably in a prime position to broker a kind of truce.

Australia's allies are not doing enough to protect it from "bullying" by China, a Kiwi academic believes, and should look to New Zealand as an example of how to offer genuine support.

Anne Marie Brady, a politics professor at Canterbury University, praised Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's support of Australia in the conflict and called on other countries to follow suit in a piece for the Sydney Morning Herald on Wednesday.

Millions of people around the world are being urged to buy an Australian bottle of wine or two, as a way of showing Chinese President Xi Jinping that the world will not be intimidated by his “bullying of Australia”.

The Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC), comprising more than 200 MPs from a range of political parties and representing 19 country legislatures, has launched a campaign to convince people to buy and drink Australian wine in December, as a show of solidarity.
