Prime Minister Ardern’s decision to step down is a loss for the global community as well as the people of New Zealand, but I have no doubt she’ll find new ways to remain at the forefront of issues she’s most passionate about, including climate change and gun safety. Her strong and decisive approach to the pandemic and the mass shooting at Christchurch — leading with pragmatism, facts, and resolve — reflected her approach to climate action, too, and I look forward to seeing where her commitment to service will lead her next.
