Climate Action Tracker update on Aotearoa New Zealand

… the Climate Change Commission’s advice does not comply with the Climate Change Response Act and is inconsistent with limiting warming to 1.5˚C, which would require New Zealand to set 2030 target of a reduction in gross emissions of at least 44%.

Current polices are consistent with 3 to 4 degrees

Why the Government needs you to protest for the climate

“You need to ensure that you’ve got social licence for the change programme. The executive needs to feel that it’s got the support to do what needs to be done. So having an active Opposition against climate action, which there is, makes things harder.” James Shaw.

Advocacy from the public can help outweigh that opposition.

You are needed at Court supporting the Red Rebels, as banner holders, placard holders and leafleters. It is only with enough of us showing a lot of interest at this Court appearance that the media will take any notice. You just being there (with whanau/friends) is very important.

We need a Photographer

Can you take photos and/or videos at the Court Action Friday 26th? This will be a fabulous visual action. We need to get it on the social media, website etc. We need to show it to the mainstream media.

Is this how you can help the Rebellion for Life? Please email us or text Caril 0211883933.

Red Rebels

Red Rebels will be out in force on Nov 26th at Court, Albert St, and December 10th at Fonterra and Genesis in Fanshaw St with ACA (Coal Action Activists). Is this you?

December Action

Friday December 10 (to be confirmed). We will be joining ACA to give Fonterra and/or Genesis a clear message that we don’t want future Summers to be in a post apocalyptic world.

You have seen the outcome of COP 26.

We need to urgently get the political will to take the necessary actions. These are two large companies taking insufficient if any action. Extinction Rebellion is committed to direct disruptive action. Join us to make a difference.
