It’s Our Future

There is no single story about climate change. These are stories shared by rangatahi about their vision of our future, handed over to Hon Grant Robertson MP in May 2022.

Your stories have power and influence on the people shaping our world. From March through to May 2022 leading up to the 2022 Budget release, we collected artwork and writing from young people all over the country, to share with key decision-makers.

Over 400,000 students attend schools that still burn fossil fuels that contribute to climate change. These are stories about why rangatahi want a fossil free future and why the government need to increase funding to get coal, oil, and gas out of schools.
