Young New Zealanders say the Prime Minster needs to tell world leaders to stop dithering and actually do something to avoid a global climate-change catastrophe.

But her speech comes in the wake of a dire omnibus report which details in stark terms how the climate is changing faster than forecast.

Hamish Cardwell filed this report.
