The Alliance says climate change is a serious threat to New Zealand. They want to use a range of strategies to help New Zealand adjust to more extreme weather. They also want to play a part in the worldwide effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reach a net-zero economy. They say this change should be fair, with workers in fossil fuel industries helped to retrain for new, secure, well-paid jobs.
“Environmental degradation and climate change pose an existential threat to every aspect of our society.”
“A just transition to a net-zero economy is needed to support workers in fossil fuel-based industries to retrain for new well-paid, secure jobs.”
“We must deploy a raft of adaptation strategies to adjust to the increasingly extreme weather brought about by a changing climate.”
