NZ Outdoors & Freedom on Climate

Society's lifestyle choices, not regulations, should address climate change

This party says that how people choose to live their lives — not government rules and regulations — is the way to deal with climate change. They do not support top-down government actions on climate. They focus more broadly on protecting rivers, lakes, and the outdoors, and keeping water clean and natural for all New Zealanders to enjoy.

What they say they'll do

  • Address climate change through lifestyle choices rather than government regulations
  • Keep rivers and lakes clean, full, and natural for public use
  • Oppose top-down government overreach, including in environmental policy
  • Protect New Zealand's outdoors and environment broadly

Who this affects

General public
The party's position places responsibility for climate change responses on individuals and how they live, rather than on government-imposed rules or requirements.
Recreational users of waterways
The party says rivers and lakes should be kept clean and natural, which touches people who fish, swim, or gather food from these waterways.

In their own words

“A society where how we live, not regulations, will mitigate climate change.”
“Our rivers and lakes should be kept clean, full and in a natural state for the people to enjoy and gather food — water belongs to us and is not for sale.”
