Generation Zero - A Zero Carbon Act

The climate crisis is growing more urgent by the day. To realise the goal of keeping global warming to well below 2°C, as agreed by the whole world in Paris last December, we need to reduce carbon pollution close to zero by 2050. But here in New Zealand our carbon emissions are still growing. Our government has done nothing to get us on track to meet this goal. They've set meaningless emissions targets and have no plan to meet them. The problem is - our politicians are focused on the election cycle and ignoring critical long term problems. It’s our job as citizens to push our politicians to do what is necessary and hold them to account. We need a new law to put New Zealand on track to zero carbon by 2050: a Zero Carbon Act.
