2021 is a momentous year for climate change policy in New Zealand. Later this year, our government will set the targets by which we hope to reduce our carbon emissions for the next 15 years. Right now, the Climate Change Commission is consulting on its first advice to Government on how Aotearoa can reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. This is our opportunity to have our say.

Submissions are open now - and remain open until the 14th of March. To help everyone to have their say, we will be launching another advocacy "mission," much like the Climate Mission we launched in 2019 that saw us make a huge 500 submissions on the then-draft Zero Carbon legislation.

The 14th of March is the fourth Sunday in Lent, and our Lent sermon video for that day will also focus on God's love for creation.
