40+ scientists (incl. me) warn that new methane accounting metrics such as "no additional warming", "temperature neutrality” are being used to grandfather high emitters, penalise developing countries, and undermine the Global Methane Pledge. Full statement: methanescience.org

Some great news for the Golden Bay community and Save our Springs action group who have been standing up against the proposed gold mine. Siren Gold's application to mine Sams Creek was turned down. Te Waikoropupū Springs and Sams Creek are safe for now. www.rnz.co.nz/national/pro...

“A minerals deal with the US would actually divert minerals from a green transition and be used in a way that would make us complicit in military aggression.” Juressa Lee, Greenpeace campaigner WATCH: www.teaonews.co.nz/video/2026/0...

Today we were at Parliament to deliver our 26,000 strong petition urging Luxon to say no to a minerals deal with Trump.

This is a public health crisis. Our water testing in Southland this weekend found that the Lumsden town water supply was at 6.14 mg/L of nitrate, above levels of nitrate contamination associated with an increased risk of preterm birth and bowel cancer. #nzpol

This week, the Government pushed ahead with its controversial change to gut the Conservation Act. Also this week - Shane Jones hosted mining executives with a US Government delegation in his Beehive office. Jones is openly boasting that protected land is officially open for business. 1/3

A new Danish study has linked nitrate in drinking water to an increased risk of stomach cancer, at levels much lower than New Zealand's current legal limits. Drinking water nitrate has also been linked to an increased risk of bowel cancer and preterm birth.

The deep sea is home to a myriad of incredible species found nowhere else. Nodule mining could irrevocably damage this ecosystem. A review of the existing science brings into focus how deep sea mining could affect some of the remotest environments in the world.

Happy 100th birthday Sir David Attenborough! You've always stood up for nature and biodiversity, thank you!

Happy 100th Birthday to Sir David Attenborough who has always stood up for nature and biodiversity!

So...Minister Shane Jones added a $50,000 fine, reduced the time for fisheries decisions to be judaically reviewed to 20 days, and said cameras on boats footage couldn't be accessed under the Official Information Act - all against official advice. Interesting. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

The Waimakiriri River is under threat from a proposed huge quarry on its banks. Local Canterbury residents have launched their own campaign to pressure ECan to not consent to the quarry application. community.greenpeace.org.nz/petitions/st...

Instead of wasting billions on an LNG terminal, the government could supercharge the shift to renewable energy by supporting a nationwide rollout of rooftop solar and batteries for Kiwi homes. #cleanenergyfuture #stoplngterminal www.rnz.co.nz/news/busines...

IT’S TIME FOR AN AMBITIOUS GREEN ENERGY TRANSITION - Greenpeace's new report shows how prioritising demand for minerals makes it possible. 1/8 🧵 greenpeace.nz/nzsbwp74

Email the Foreign Minister Winston Peters: [email protected] and urge him to condemn the illegal Israeli military attack on the Global Sumud Flotilla and call on him to demand the release of activists who include New Zealand citizens. #nzpol #gaza

The Foreign Minister Winston Peters must condemn the attack on the Global Sumud Flotilla, which is bringing humanitarian aid to Gaza, and demand the release of people abducted by the Israeli military, including New Zealand citizens. #nzpol #gaza #globalsumudflotilla

Petrol and diesel prices are rising, fuel shortages are looming and power bills are climbing. We’ve asked political parties nine yes-or-no questions on the actions they would take in response to this fuel crisis. #cleanenergyfuture #nzpol #climate greenpeace.nz/fjor3rrt

"Our small community came together – not as one voice, but as many. Tangata whenua with deep ancestral connection, legal minds, scientists, organisers, storytellers and neighbours united together." Jessie Stanley, Save our Sands www.greenpeace.org/aotearoa/sto...

BP just made more than double its quarterly profit - and its all thanks to the US & Israel's murder of 165 Iranian schoolgirls & thousands more men, women & children across Iran and Lebanon. But, this is not even the first time BP has made its dirty, earth-killing profits off the blood of Iranians.🧵

"There is no benefit in New Zealand in destroying the biodiversity off in South Taranaki just so that an Australian mining company can dig up vanadium and give it to the US military." - Russel Norman, Greenpeace Executive Director www.rnz.co.nz/news/environ...

We spend $7b-$8b a year importing transport energy. Instead we should be generating our own transport energy through electricity which we then use with our electric cars, scooters and public transport. #cleanenergyfuture #climate #stoplngterminal www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

Maybe we should have a gas transition plan? Oh that’s right the Luxon Govt cancelled it because they are big fans of fossil fuels. How’s that working out?

Making public transport free will ease the cost-of-living crisis and help slash emissions. Other countries have made public transport free. Why isn't the Luxon Government doing the same? Sign the petition calling for free transport now.

The Govt announced its support for an LNG import terminal in Feb using modelling that didn't take into account price volatility. Since Feb: - LNG prices have gone up 50-70% - Its predicted they'll go up another 50-100% - We've also faced 8 severe weather related states of emergency #climatecrisis

The Luxon government clearly didn't do its due diligence when it came to planning its billion dollar dirty, dumb and expensive LNG terminal. #cleanenergyfuture #stoplng #climate www.rnz.co.nz/news/environ...

The US and Israel attacks on Iran have created a global energy crisis, and a rise in oil and gas prices. NZ's energy system and economy is exposed because of its high dependence on expensive and unreliable fossil fuels. #solarisenz #cleanenergyfuture #stoplng greenpeace.nz/lmdnc1e7

The latest data on NZ's greenhouse gas emissions just dropped, and here's what you need to know. In 2024, the increase in emissions from the intensive dairy industry was the same as adding 100,000 more cars to NZ's roads. Here's why that's a big deal. 🧵 Action link: greenpeace.nz/b95joo #nzpol

If you’re in Auckland next Tuesday come along to a screening of ‘How to change the world’ - a story of the start of the modern environmental movement. In 1971, a group of friends sailed into a nuclear test zone, & their protest captured the world's imagination greenpeace.nz/film-event

Last week NZ Foreign Minister Winston Peters met with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. To talk about what? A minerals deal between NZ and the USA. A NZ Herald story today shows the risks of this deal with the USA 🧵 1/8 www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/... #nzpol

The Government just gave $18 million to an illegal dirty dairy dam which will flood precious conservation land. Here's the details 🧵 (1/5) #nzpol

On April 12, the #GlobalSumudFlotilla sails with 70+ vessels and 1000+ participants to break Israel’s ongoing blockade of aid to #Gaza. Greenpeace ship the Arctic Sunrise is providing operational and technical support. greenpeace.nz/uxyhvxeg

The Luxon Government is choosing roads over people and oil over our future. While they blow the budget on billion-dollar road projects and fossil fuel expansion, everyday New Zealanders are being crushed by the cost of fuel.

We asked politicians to drink nitrate-contaminated water from rural kitchen taps. 90% of them said no. While rural communities face increased health risks as a result of nitrate contamination, politicians are failing to act. #nzpol

“Fonterra claimed that its Anchor Butter was ‘100% New Zealand grass-fed’, but that isn’t true. Fonterra dairy cows can be fed up to three kilograms of palm kernel a day - an imported feed linked to rainforest destruction." - Sinéad Deighton-O'Flynn, Greenpeace www.nzherald.co.nz/business/fon...

The Commerce Commission found that Fonterra's "100% NZ Grass Fed" label was likely to mislead consumers, due to all the palm kernel feed. But the CC did nothing, so Fonterra just kept using the label. So Greenpeace sued them under the Fair Trading Act. www.greenpeace.org/aotearoa/sto...

THIS IS NOT A DRILL. Fonterra just admitted that it broke the law with misleading claims on its Anchor Butter packaging. While it claimed to be '100% New Zealand Grass-fed', in reality a Fonterra dairy cow can eat up to 3kgs of palm kernel linked to rainforest destruction daily. #nzpol

When Christopher Luxon told Tova O’Brien on Breakfast, “My job is the CEO,” it wasn’t just a slip of the tongue. It was a window into how he thinks leadership works and cuts right to the heart of the problem in New Zealand’s environmental and social politics today. #nzpol

Murky indeed . The Fisheries Amendment Bill a.k.a "the ocean exploitation bill" should be rejected. We need real ocean protection - like banning bottom trawling from where it does the most harm. www.rnz.co.nz/news/thedeta...
