Often, the main rebuttal for climate action is "But who's going to pay for it?" Come to this doco screening + Q&A with Steven Hail and @bernardchickey for a deep dive into how we CAN afford a safer, fairer future.

This govt has made no plans to do the thing that really matters – phasing out fossil fuels. Either the government is committed to meeting our climate change targets, or they can fast-track oil, gas & coal. They cannot do both. 350.org.nz/pr-governments… rnz.co.nz/news/political…

All 8 #BigOilRealityCheck companies fail to meet basic criteria for upholding human rights and just transition plans. Every single one is facing resistance from frontline communities to their projects based on human rights, health, and/or safety concerns. oilchange.org/borc

A train between Christchurch & Invercargill, with stops in between. All the students driving between Chch and @otago, instead with a cheap, safe, low-emissions alternative. What would you do on a train ride down south, if we could bring back the Southerner? 🎧🍿🎬✍️🎨📚📸🚞🏞️🌊

Great piece in the @TheSpinoffTV about our campaign to #EndPrivateJets today. People who use private jets benefit from operating in the shade. In the middle of the climate crisis, we can start by reducing some of the most wasteful emissions. thespinoff.co.nz/society/21-05-…

Most major airports are part-owned by local councils - we say they are assets to be operated in the interests of the public – including the interest of reducing emissions. nzherald.co.nz/nz/private-jet…

We urged Auckland Transport to fill the gap between the planned protected cycleway along Te Hā Noa and Nelson street - and they listened! Details to come!

Photos from Tory Whanau’s IG showing the progress made to Pōneke’s cycleway network over the last 3 years with cycle trips from Newtown to the city centre up by 140% since 2022. Great mahi @WgtnCC 🚲

In just three days, more than 3000 people have already signed a petition to show their support for the Te Huia train! Sign here: bit.ly/SignTeHuia

We've given our submission on the fast-track bill: Undemocratic Unworkable Likely to foment civil strife Will exacerbate #climatechange Is contrary to the Crown's obligations under Te Tiriti o Waitangi Our focus is now on the June 8 #marchfornature. coalaction.org.nz/actions/june-8…

A day of discussion, reflection and movement building in Ngāmotu with inspiring speakers and workshops addressing the polycrisis at our community gathering for a just future. #ClimateJusticeNow

The Te Huia train between Hamilton & Auckland deserves a fair go. We believe the Government needs to commit to the full 5-year trial so a fair assessment can be made of benefits. Sign the petition if you agree. petitions.parliament.nz/0500c639-55da-…

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. It's time to say that luxury private jets are not ok in Aotearoa. 350.org.nz/end-private-je…
