Te Pāti Māori on Climate

Protect land and sea; invest in community climate resilience

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.

What they say they'll do

  • Ban seabed mining
  • Protect land and ocean from extractive industries
  • Invest in climate resilience for communities most at risk
  • Support regenerative and sustainable approaches aligned with Māori values

Who this affects

Coastal and rural communities
The party says it will direct investment into climate resilience specifically for communities most exposed to climate-related harm.
Fishing and marine industries
A proposed ban on seabed mining would affect activities currently carried out or proposed on the ocean floor.
Māori landowners and iwi
The policy backs sustainable and regenerative land-use approaches described as aligned with Māori values, which would shape how land and resources are managed.

In their own words

“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.”
