Climate Club NZ

We’ve teamed up with climate & transport advocates around the country to help everyday Kiwis have a say on the government’s draft General Policy Statement on land transport (a.k.a. “GPS 2024”). The proposed policy locks in car dependency for the next 10 years, and pushes freight off the rails onto our already-damaged roads ⚠️ That means more traffic jams ⛔️ higher costs 💸 increased pollution 🔥 and more traffic deaths 💀 This policy affects us all!. Transport and climate advocates strongly oppose the proposed transport policy. It goes against all evidence of what makes a more reliable, efficient, safe, and affordable transport system. We need everyone to make a submission before the 2 April deadline so that we can re-route quickly ⤵️ We’ve pull together advice from experts & advocates who have read the document, so that members of the general public (like you!) can amplify their voice and easily write a submission for a better transport future for all 🌱🙌 Submission guide 👉 bit.ly/transport-gps More info 👉 transport4all.org.nz

Transport makes up 20% of NZ's emissions - and we have the solutions! 🚄

We are proud to be delivering Climate Fresk Aotearoa workshops for Hamilton City Council over the coming months, as as part of HCC's Climate Change Strategy.   Climate Fresk is a scalable science communication tool that translates the IPCC climate science into a fun, collaborative game. Participants solve a puzzle using a series of cards to gain a 'big picture' understanding of what's happening to our Earth. They then enter a creativity phase to encourage out-of-the-box thinking, and explore actions that will make the greatest impact. Delivering Climate Fresk through communities enables co-designed climate responses and actions to be identified.   We will also be training 16 Climate Fresk facilitators in Kirikiriroa Hamilton!

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

Help Secure the Future of Te Huia: Sign the Petition Today! Funding for Te Huia Hamilton-Auckland passenger train is at risk. This train service has not only surpassed its patronage targets but also has ambitious plans for expansion, including additional stations throughout the Waikato and potential extension to Tauranga. Even if you're not located in Hamilton or Auckland and have yet to experience the service firsthand, your support is crucial. Strengthening passenger rail in the golden triangle will pave the way for a more interconnected and accessible network across all of Aotearoa. Add your voice to the cause by signing the petition now - https://lnkd.in/gKZqkg5E

Mōrena, and Happy Tuesday which means newsletter day! 🌞 This week, we reflect on an awesome reason to feel hopeful when looking at climate outcomes here in Aotearoa: New Zealand's emissions have been on a downward trend for three consecutive years! 🎉 Read on: https://lnkd.in/gDDAjWgi #ClimatechangeNZ #ClimateNZ #climateopportunities #climatechange #NZenvironment #EmissionReduction 🌿🌏

Absolutely thrilled to have had Emily Mabin Sutton share her expertise on #ClimateAction in #NewZealand with our Professional Master's students in #SupplyChainManagement! 🌏 Your passion provided them with a fresh perspective they hadn't been exposed to before, offering a new way of thinking about sustainability and how broader stakeholders impact the business. The insights you shared were invaluable in guiding the students to consider new approaches to integrating sustainability into supply chains. Thank you for your dedication to educating future leaders. 🙌 #ClimateChange #SustainableSupplyChain #ThoughtLeadership

Get ready Tāmaki Makaurau, we're uniting at 1pm at Aotea Square on Queen Street Saturday 08 June 2024 to protest the Fast Track Approvals Bill (2024). Transport, climate, and environment are intimately linked. The Bill makes no meaningful mention of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and it does not require decisions about consenting projects to be aligned with the Emissions Reduction Plan or with the Climate Change Response Act. All Aboard will continue stating it: The Fast-Track Approvals Bill needs to be abandoned. As a proud member of Communities Against Fast Track (CAFT), we will be marching alongside inspiring organisations such as Greenpeace Aotearoa, Coromandel Watchdog of Hauraki, Environment Conservation Group, Kiwis Against Seabed Mining, WWF-New Zealand, Forest & Bird, and many more! See you there!

Mōrena, and Happy Tuesday which means newsletter day! 🌞 This week we explore the exciting news of a recent pivot on the Fast-Track Bill! Chris Bishop, the Minister behind the Fast-Track legislation, is considering backtracking on some key components after feeling the pressure from opposition—including from our very own voices. This is excellent news as it shows the impact of public pressure, and now it is our task to maintain that momentum and ensure our voices are heard as the Select Committee takes on the bill!
