Te Pāti Māori says it will protect land and the ocean from industries that damage them, including banning seabed mining. It wants to invest in helping communities most at risk from climate change to cope and recover. It also wants to back farming and land-use approaches that are sustainable and in line with Māori values. The party frames this as a matter of justice — people's right to live safely on their own land.
“Protect whenua and moana from extractive industries (including banning seabed mining).”
“Invest in climate resilience for communities most at risk.”
“Climate justice is about protecting our right to live safely, affordably, and sovereign on our own whenua.”
