RNZ’s investigative Insight documentary Climate Change - Politics and Actions has won the inaugural Association for International Broadcasting Sustainability Award for radio programming.

The AIB sustainability awards were announced in Taipei. They are open to all television, radio and independent production companies, wherever they are based in the world; but programmes entered must focus on major issues within the Asia-Pacific region.
