Climate Justice Taranaki
Kia ora, Climate Justice Taranaki is a community group dedicated to justice, resistance, education and positive actions in the front line of climate change. We are based in Taranaki, the southwest corner of New Zealand’s north island.
Since the end of 2010, we have focused our work on educating the public about the extent and impacts of the massive oil and gas expansion in Taranaki. We rally community support to resist all new onshore and offshore drilling in Taranaki, in particular the use of the highly risky technique – hydraulic fracturing (fracking).
We advocate for No drilling Aotearoa and call on the government to phase out investments and dependence on all non-renewable energy. Join our facebook group Stop the Drilling in Taranaki to share up to date information and connect with like minded people.
In the long term, Climate Justice Taranaki plans to galvanize and promote community efforts in all aspects of “climate-friendly”, sustainable practices.
