So many people are stepping up to save the Denniston Plateau from being turned into a monstrous coal mine that spews climate pollution equivalent to NZ's entire emission! This is the fight of our lifetimes.

Join us for more actions like this at 350.org.nz/coal

The unprecented rollbacks in climate action this week make it clear Luxon sure doesn't think about climate change very much!

Bad news for everyone who is at risk of climate-fuelled extreme weather events, pays for expensive fossil fuels in their power bills, or breathes air.

The latest Fast-Track Approvals amendments are a dangerous Henry VIII-style power grab that shreds democracy, hands royal privileges to mining companies, and says "off with his head" to the *head* of the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA)

Read the long-read article about Denniston in Drilled: drilled.media/news/nz-coal

The government's increasingly desperate attempts to fast-track coal mines - by shutting out local communities & using agressive political rhetoric - is deliberately stirring up division.

Bathurst wants to rip up the denniston plateau for a 20 million tonne coal mine 👎 We want the plateau & its unique flora and fauna to be protected 💚 Choose a side.

We've been heartened for all the support that we've been getting for the campaign to save the denniston plateau. People from all walks of life are joining our movement to save this special place, and protect the climate.

Share in the replies the reasons why you want to save denniston

“Ideological Sludge”: How New Zealand Is Quiet Quitting Climate Action
New Zealand once stood out as a world leader on climate change. In June it became the first country in the world to abandon a commitment to phase out oil, gas and coal.

The first offshore oil and gas application has been lodged. 350 Aotearoa says the foreign drilling application is 'corporate arrogance' that will never come to pass. newsroom.co.nz/2025/10/21/f...

Families in Aotearoa face tough choices between heating their homes and putting food on the table, while energy companies reap huge profits. Our energy framework needs reform. We must unite for an affordable, dependable, and green energy future. When the power fails, it affects us all.

Energy poverty is rising - and THIS is the government's response?

The govt is helping the shareholders of the fossil fuel industry and the gentailers, when they should be helping lower energy costs through cheap, community renewables!

Militirism is a climate catastrophe.
Come along to blockade of the aerospace summit next week in ōtautahi christchurch. The conference features a variety of speakers who are currently referred to the international criminal court.
Join peace action ōtautahi's blockade at tinyurl.com/BLOCKADEaero...
A poster with a starry space background. At the top, large cut-out style black-and-white letters spell “BlockaDe”. Below, bold yellow text reads: “THE NATIONAL AEROSPACE CONFERENCE 2025!”. On the left side, there’s a halftone-style megaphone with yellow zigzag lines showing sound. To the right, large cut-out letters show the dates: “7–8th Oct”. At the bottom in yellow text: “FIND OUT MORE: BIT.LY/AEROSPACECHC” and in smaller white text: “— PEACE ACTION ŌTAUTAHI”. The background is a starry night sky. At the top right, there is a halftone-style drone illustration. Yellow text across the center reads: “Our friends at Peace Action Ōtautahi are blockading the conference’s close links with weapons and defence companies.” “Speakers at the event include SYOS, who produces drones that are eventually used by Israel to commit war crimes.” “Another speaker is RocketLab, which launches BlackSky surveillance drones that are allegedly used for Israel’s missile strikes.” “Some of the speakers have been referred to the International Criminal Court.” At the bottom left is a halftone rocket pointing diagonally upward. The text “— PEACE ACTION ŌTAUTAHI” appears in white. Again, the background is filled with stars. Yellow text reads: “Not only are many of these companies involved in destructive activity and violence – they also spew exceptionally high levels of climate pollution.” “350 Aotearoa’s position is clear – militarism is a climate catastrophe.” “We’ve been involved in a variety of conference blockades before, some of which have resulted in disruptions or even forced cancellations.” At the bottom of the poster is a black-and-white halftone photo of five young people standing side by side, smiling, and holding a banner.

Today's energy announcement? A damp squib that locks us into expensive fossil fuels while families struggle with power bills.

Sign our petition calling for a 30-year Energy Plan - 350.org.nz/homegrown-en...
Breaking news banner at top with orange and blue sections. Screenshot of RNZ article headline "Government stops short of major energy shakeup, rejects asset sale" by Giles Dexter.

Dark teal background with white and orange text. Headline reads "Today's energy announcement? A damp squib." Body text explains government's plan offers band-aid fixes while energy poverty rises, mentions taxpayer money going to LNG terminals and gas fields instead of renewables, and discusses gentailer underinvestment over nearly a decade. Simple icon of an LNG storage tank in bottom right corner. 350 Aotearoa logo at bottom left. Dark teal background with orange quote bubble containing white text. Quote from Alva Feldmeier, Co-Director 350 Aotearoa, criticizing government plan for propping up status quo.

Luxon wants Labour to commit to 10 years of offshore gas exploration.
Here's the reality:
❌ No major gas find in 20+ years
❌ Gas drives climate crisis
✅ Renewables are cheaper & abundant
Stop doubling down on fossil fuels. Invest in our renewable future. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...
Luxon’s personal letter to Hipkins appealing for ‘bipartisanship’ on key issue dismissed as ‘political stunt’
The correspondence comes at a critical time for energy developments.

The Climate Change Commission's analysis shows massive opportunities for emissions reductions that actually SAVE money while creating jobs and improving lives - especially in the electricity generation sector! It's not about spending more - it's about spending smarter.

Waste incineration is a disaster for public health, for communities and for the climate. We will continue backing locals who are doing an incredible job fighting these extractive corporations on the smell of an oily rag.

This Saturday, we joined the March for Palestine in Auckland. While the media reported 20,000 attendees, those of us on the ground witnessed what felt like double that number, creating a powerful and peaceful demonstration of solidarity.

Palestine and Tino Rangatiratanga Flag Photo of 350 volunteers walking in large protest crowd.

We know that the forces that enable a few to grow obscenely rich by wrecking the planet are the same forces that are displacing and oppressing the human rights of Palestinians. Plus, the climate impact of Israel’s war on Gaza is greater than the emissions from over a hundred countries.
Background image of people at a Palestine rally. Then a phone reminder pop-up that reads "Caring for the climate isn't just about protecting nature; it's about protecting people. It's about standing up for every person suffering, whether from war, climate disasters, famines, or other injustices. " with buttons that read Got it and Okay.

🌳 ⛰️ The #DennistonPlateau is one of #Aotearoa most spectacular areas of precious wilderness. It is hard to believe that #BathurstResources wants to turn this into an open cast coal mine.
