It was lovely to see some young people join us at our Parliament protest last Friday.

Joined here by students from Tawa College

Welcome back Henry the climate action dog! And Alexander too.

Friday 25th we will be at Midland Park for our fortnightly protest against Fonterra – see you there!

Be the voice for the climate at in-person election campaign meetings

In the latest Climate Club e-newsletter there’s a link to some great advice on how to make sure climate is talking about at election campaign meetings.

These are where candidates meet the public (that’s you!), talk about their plans for the election, and answer questions from anyone in the audience.

This is where we come in. As members of the voting public, it’s important that politicians know there are lots of people out there who are keen to vote for strong climate action.

Find out the most effective ways to ask candidates about climate.

Or you can just turn up with an appropriate placard!

You can also subscribe to the Climate Club on the same link – it’s well worth it.

Vote for Climate

This election we have a huge opportunity to make a difference to climate action policies in New Zealand.

Vote for Climate is here to show you how to most effectively vote for climate action and how to join the campaign to make climate change prominent in this year’s election campaign.

Would you be willing to:

  • Put a sign on your fence
  • Wave signs on the side of a busy road with a group
  • Run a stall with a group
  • Stick up posters around town
  • Join a rally and/or
  • Help with social media (including liking & commenting to boost posts)?

Find out how to get involved in the Vote for Climate campaign.

See which political parties have good, no, or poor, climate policies.

The Big New Zealand Climate Action Survey

If you live in New Zealand, are aged 16 years or over, and you take any kind of climate action, this survey is for you. (For example, you make lifestyle changes, attend or organise protests, sign petitions, consider climate change when voting or making major life decisions, talk to people about climate change, take a stand on social and economic justice issues that might help reduce emissions…).

It should take 15-20 minutes to complete, and the survey answers will be used in a PhD dissertation by a Victoria University doctoral candidate.

The more people who complete the survey, the more useful the findings will be for supporting climate action in Aotearoa.

At the end of the survey you have the option of leaving your contact details to go into the draw for a $20 supermarket voucher – of you can forgo the draw and be completely anonymous.

You can also choose to participate in a focus group, these will take place in late 2023/early 2024.
