Whakarauora Āhuarangi

Climate Solution

Tena koutou katoa. Hoping everyone has had a great festive season and are gearing up to an effective 2022. This is a year of hope. COP 27, November 2022, is holding countries accountable to meeting the Paris Agreement of 1.5 degrees post industrial warming. After the totally inadequate COP26 (but with some significant movement in the right direction) we need to increase the pressure on our Government to get real movement. The science is clear. The goals from COP26 will take the planet to 4+degrees warming. Read David Willis Wells to see the predictions for this.

In Tamaki Makauraru (Auckland) Extinction Rebellion is starting early going hard and fast. Please consider what you can do to help us have a positive effect. Aotearoa New Zealand could so easily be like Cost Rica – reversed deforestation and 2019 created a national zero carbon plan

Info Evening

Jan 24th 7 pm at Gribble hirst Hub Sandringham.

Come along and bring a friend. Discover the developing plans for 2022. See what you can do to help address the climate crisis.

Love to see you.

Court action

February 25th 10 am is the new date & time.

You are needed in Court to fill the public gallery; outside for Red Rebels, 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.

Support the Rebels who gave ANZ Bank a message that we need Zero Emissions by 2025 to meet the goal from the Paris Agreement of 1.5 degrees, averting the worst of the climate crisis.

Please let the Court know there is extreme concern about the inaction of the national and international decision makers to keep the planet livable.

Can you help? YES! Follow your interest and skills:

Planning meetings are the 2nd & 4th Mondays, 6.30pm at Friends House, 113 Mt Eden Rd. Expect to walk away with a commitment to help make an action happen!
