REDUCE YOUR IMPACT
Imagine the lives we can live when our communities take the bold climate actions we need. We will have clean air to breathe, plentiful green space, clear waterways, and peaceful streets and public transport where and when we need it. We know it is necessary and doable to create this future. From a te ao Māori perspective, it is vital to consider equity and fairness for nature, place, and people. We can maintain balance and harmony in the symbiotic whakapapa relationships between nature, people, and place, encompassing past, present, and future generations.
One of the most impactful ways to reduce future climate disruption globally is to reduce the amount of climate pollution. We are already seeing that reducing our climate pollution now will contribute to reducing overall climate disruption.
Better lives for everyone are possible through bold community climate action.
