Stop Denniston Coal
Bathurst wants to mine 20 million tonnes of coking coal around Denniston and the wider Buller area, to export to countries like Japan, India, and China.
There is already enough coal in existing mines to deliver a just transition away from fossil fuels. This single coal mine could belch out carbon pollution on a scale that rivals the entirety of New Zealand’s annual emissions – talk about a carbon monster!
We’re doing everything we can to stop this carbon monster and push for a just transition, creating thousands of stable jobs for a safe climate future.
Homegrown Energy
Aotearoa was once known for our clean electricity grid, but the truth is that, in recent years, it has only been getting dirtier. Instead of investing in wind, solar and geothermal energy, our country’s energy mafia – the big 5 gentailers – are firing up more coal, gas and diesel.
It doesn’t have to be this way. With the right leadership, our homes and industries could be powered on 100% homegrown renewable energy.
Join us in calling on the government to address energy injustice.
Documentary: We Can Produce Our Own Power
‘We can produce our own power: Community Energy Projects in Aotearoa’ is a short film documentary that features Community Energy Projects in Aotearoa and their benefits for people and the planet.
This documentary will leave you feeling hopeful and excited to be part of the movement fighting for a just, prosperous, and equitable world built with the power of engaged citizens.
End Private Jets
Private jets are the epitome of social and climate injustice. While New Zealanders struggle to make ends meet, the uber-rich swan around on private jets, generating 15 times more carbon emissions than commercial flights.
Over the last decade, private jet use has almost doubled, with private jet flights generating 15 times more carbon emissions per person than commercial flights.
Let’s take action to end the use of private jets in Aotearoa.
Fossil Free Banks
We know a safe climate future, below 1.5C warming, means zero fossil fuels. Yet, our banks are investing billions of dollars in the fossil fuel industry.
Since 2016, our major banks have loaned over $35.5bn to fossil fuel projects in Aotearoa and offshore.
Fossil Free State Sector
Every child in Aotearoa should be able to go to school and breathe clean air, and every patient and healthcare worker should be kept warm and well by renewable-powered heating.
Currently, hundreds of our state schools and a number of our hospitals burn coal and gas for heating. This is a major risk to the health of our communities and our climate. Our Government must fund a fast transition towards clean energy in our schools, hospitals and public buildings and across the full state sector.
Send a message to the Finance Minister to properly fund the decarbonisation of our state sector. It’s up to us to send a clear message to our Government that there can be no place for fossil fuel boilers that put our health and climate at risk in our schools, hospitals and other state sector buildings.
