The climate crisis is here and now, and it’s shaping the rest of our lives. Our political and economic systems have failed us and now we face the collapse of our economy, ecology, and society, but together we can find ways to look after each other and the natural world on which we depend. 

Our plan is to transform society by building people power. To do this, we demonstrate the effectiveness of working alongside each other in a systematic, well organised way that achieves results. It’s up to every one of us to decide. We can liberate ourselves and each other. Or we can live in distraction and powerlessness. 

Our opponents have big money, sophisticated marketing, and technology which they are unleashing relentlessly to pursue their goals. In response, Climate Liberation Aotearoa is here to organise resistance to the destruction of our home, and to take back our power. 

This year we are focusing on transport emissions and pollution. This means 1. Travel Less, 2. Travel Active, 3. Travel Public, 4. Travel Electric. Our first win will be to move the dial on cruise ships – a type of luxury emission worse than flying which we can all do without. Join us to find out more about how we plan to win. In action there is friendship, hope, and love. The first step is to show up.

OUR GOALS

1. That the government and local councils include emissions from international shipping and aviation in their emissions targets and emissions reduction plans.
2. That the climate commission recommend to the government that emissions from international shipping and aviation be included in emissions targets and emissions reduction plans when their deliver their advice in November 2024.
3. That Cruise ships be banned from sensitive natural environments like Fiordland.
4. That we stop subsidising cruise ships through both explicit and hidden mechanisms including; ratepayer money for on land passenger transport, cruise ambassadors, and failure to count emisssions.
