As we look to the year ahead, we are excited to be organising another 350 auction dinner after a 2-year hiatus. This is a significant year for us as we lead into the election with a focus on local organising and continuing our work in the energy justice space. events.humanitix.com/350-aotearoa...

The Government is considering the first offshore oil exploration permit since the ban was overturned. An Australian-registered company has applied to explore off the Taranaki coast — a move that would mark a major shift in our energy policy and could lock in decades more fossil fuel dependence.

A blog Energy Campaign Volunteer by Vicki Macknight unpacking the recent announcement from BlackRock and what this means for New Zealand’s climate future.

Eco-anxiety is far more than an experience of personal distress...it's a rational response to systemic betrayal, and prescribing "self-care" is not enough. Read our latest blog on this issue written by Sarah Morrison, on our website 350.org.nz/eco-anxiety

Trust is everything. And we have lost our trust in this government - who has lied about climate targets, stripped power away from communities and handed it to fossil fuel companies and a couple of Ministers. This year, we need to make this a one term governemnt.

Sounds like climate criminal Bathurst Resources doesn't want you to sign our petition: 350.org.nz/coal#petition

Meri Kirihimete from all of us at 350 Aotearoa! 2026 is going to be a massive year - and we are going to need a full tank to push for the change we want to see. Our movements need you rested, recharged, and ready for 2026. Wishing you a truly restful raumati break!

Are you passionate about making a difference in your community and taking action on the climate crisis? Are you eager to gain experience in grassroots organising and movement-building? We’re looking for an enthusiastic Local Climate Action Organiser to help grow and support our network.

We've have launched a billboard campaign across Aotearoa, after ANZ New Zealand released their annual climate statement, showing ANZ refuses to cut ties with coal companies like Bathurst Resources and continues to invest millions of dollars in fossil fuels.

This government seems relentlessly focused on destroying the climate that we all rely on. More emissions means more storms, more floods and more air pollution. If you don't like where things are going - then join a movement to push Aotearoa towards a better path. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

This Thursday is not only scheduled to see the third reading of the Fast-Track Amendment Bill — it’s also the trial date for nine Denniston coal-cart protestors, who will appear in the Westport District Court facing charges for peaceful climate action. chuffed.org/project/1296...

Geoffrey Palmer tells it how it is. We must do everything we can to stop the fast-track - not only for the sake of our climate and our special places - but to safeguard our very democracy, and Te Tiriti which underpins it. newsroom.co.nz/2025/12/08/g...

A broad array of organisations have launched an open letter, urging the government not to proceed with taxpayer subsidies for an LNG import terminal. Check out the full letter: 350.org.nz/lng-open-let...

None of us should have to choose between warmth and food - but that is the outcome of an energy system that is rigged to line shareholder pockets by burning fossil fuels - instead of serving us. It doesn't have to be this way, if we democratize our energy system. 350.org.nz/homegrown-en...

Is your kiwisaver funding ocean destruction? New research from Mindful Money has identified 36 companies as ocean destroyers. Our oceans regulate our climate, feed our communities, and sustain our way of life. Yet they're degrading at an alarming rate. mindfulmoney.nz/campaign/oce...

They're back! 🎉 After selling out in under 30 hours last month, we've reprinted the Protect Denniston Plateau tea towels thanks to your overwhelming response. Order here: forms.gle/hu6bMqbXeQt2... Proceeds fund our campaign to protect the Denniston Plateau and its incredible biodiversity.

So many people have a deep relationship with Denniston - and are opposing Bathurst's plans to destroy the place forever. The people of Aotearoa and standing up and fighting back against this government's attempts to help Bathurst destroy this special place.

Aotearoa deserves a thriving ocean — free from catastrophic oil spills. But right now, that future is being put at risk. For the first time since the nationwide ban on offshore oil exploration was repealed, a new application has been lodged for offshore gas drilling.

So many people are stepping up to save the Denniston Plateau from being turned into a monstrous coal mine that spews climate pollution equivalent to NZ's entire emission! This is the fight of our lifetimes. Join us for more actions like this at 350.org.nz/coal

The unprecented rollbacks in climate action this week make it clear Luxon sure doesn't think about climate change very much! Bad news for everyone who is at risk of climate-fuelled extreme weather events, pays for expensive fossil fuels in their power bills, or breathes air.

The latest Fast-Track Approvals amendments are a dangerous Henry VIII-style power grab that shreds democracy, hands royal privileges to mining companies, and says "off with his head" to the *head* of the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) Check out our response here: 350.org.nz/henryviii/

Read the long-read article about Denniston in Drilled: drilled.media/news/nz-coal The government's increasingly desperate attempts to fast-track coal mines - by shutting out local communities & using agressive political rhetoric - is deliberately stirring up division.

Bathurst wants to rip up the denniston plateau for a 20 million tonne coal mine 👎 We want the plateau & its unique flora and fauna to be protected 💚 Choose a side. If it's ours - sign up at 350.org.nz/coal

The first offshore oil and gas application has been lodged. 350 Aotearoa says the foreign drilling application is 'corporate arrogance' that will never come to pass. newsroom.co.nz/2025/10/21/f...

Families in Aotearoa face tough choices between heating their homes and putting food on the table, while energy companies reap huge profits. Our energy framework needs reform. We must unite for an affordable, dependable, and green energy future. When the power fails, it affects us all.

Energy poverty is rising - and THIS is the government's response? The govt is helping the shareholders of the fossil fuel industry and the gentailers, when they should be helping lower energy costs through cheap, community renewables! 350.org.nz/damp-squib-e...

Luxon wants Labour to commit to 10 years of offshore gas exploration. Here's the reality: ❌ No major gas find in 20+ years ❌ Gas drives climate crisis ✅ Renewables are cheaper & abundant Stop doubling down on fossil fuels. Invest in our renewable future. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...

Local election polls are closing in less than a fortnight. Let's vote to care for our climate and our communities.

The Climate Change Commission's analysis shows massive opportunities for emissions reductions that actually SAVE money while creating jobs and improving lives - especially in the electricity generation sector! It's not about spending more - it's about spending smarter.

Waste incineration is a disaster for public health, for communities and for the climate. We will continue backing locals who are doing an incredible job fighting these extractive corporations on the smell of an oily rag. Sign the petition: our.actionstation.org.nz/petitions/ke...

The crucial public services that we all rely on are at threat. That's why we must vote!

It's time to draw the line on crappy local politics.

Is this you?

This Saturday, we joined the March for Palestine in Auckland. While the media reported 20,000 attendees, those of us on the ground witnessed what felt like double that number, creating a powerful and peaceful demonstration of solidarity.

We know that the forces that enable a few to grow obscenely rich by wrecking the planet are the same forces that are displacing and oppressing the human rights of Palestinians. Plus, the climate impact of Israel’s war on Gaza is greater than the emissions from over a hundred countries.

🌳 ⛰️ The #DennistonPlateau is one of #Aotearoa most spectacular areas of precious wilderness. It is hard to believe that #BathurstResources wants to turn this into an open cast coal mine. @350nz.bsky.social #StopTheFastTrack #EndCoal #StopFossilFuels #ClimateJustice #ClimateCrisis #nz #EndCoal

📰 BREAKING: Shane Jones calls for renationalising the power market Appears Minister Jones has read our Generating Scarcity reports and recommendations and wants his party to consider re-nationalising the gentailers as part of a massive energy market shake-up. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

New Zealand's climate framework stands hollow - legal targets remain but the policy rungs needed to reach them have been systematically removed. A powerful reminder that legislation without implementation is just paperwork

A deeply unfair system makes it cheaper to fly than take the train; rewarding pollution and penalizing green choices. It's time for the government to make polluters pay their fair share; and invest in rail. thefutureisrail.org

All of the pressure is adding up. Bit by bit, Bathurst's dream of opening a giant coal mine on Denniston is becoming increasingly unlikely.

Should New Zealand really be subsidising our biggest gas user? 350.org.nz/methanexit-s...
