Labour's climate spokesperson says she's attending the UN's annual climate summit to become better informed. 

Deborah Russell will join Climate Change Minister Simon Watts and a New Zealand delegation at COP30 in Brazil. 

Climate scientists have warned the world's likely to blow past 1.5 degrees of warming. 

Russell says we'll be faced with absolute disaster if we can't pull this back somehow. 

She told Heather du Plessis-Allan that she wants to learn more about methane - and some of world's solutions around agriculture. 

Russell says that's a pressing problem in New Zealand and it helps if as many of us as possible know as much as possible.
