Iwi, environmental groups, and community resilience organisations in Hawke’s Bay are asking all local councils to rethink their approach to climate mitigation in light of the damage Cyclone Gabrielle inflicted on the region. 

There is nothing transformational in the budget, when it comes to protecting New Zealanders’ lives, lifestyles, and livelihoods from climate change and biodiversity loss, Forest & Bird says in response to today's Budget. 

Forest & Bird is today reiterating its call for urgent action to stop new mines on conservation land, after the Prime Minister re-stated Labour’s commitment to the policy.
