Alliance on Environment

Net-zero economy needed to protect society and environment

The Alliance says the environment and climate change are serious threats to New Zealand's future. They want to prepare for more extreme weather, reduce the country's contribution to global warming, and move away from fossil fuels. They also say workers in fossil fuel industries should be helped to retrain for new, secure jobs. They want local communities to own and control water and waste services.

What they say they'll do

  • Bring electricity and water into public ownership
  • Introduce a carbon tax so polluters pay
  • Support a just transition to a net-zero economy
  • Help workers in fossil fuel industries retrain for new well-paid, secure jobs
  • Revive rail and coastal shipping as alternatives to environmentally degrading aviation and trucking
  • Deploy adaptation strategies to adjust to increasingly extreme weather from climate change

Who this affects

workers in fossil fuel industries
The party says a just transition would support these workers to retrain for new well-paid, secure jobs as the economy moves away from fossil fuels.
households and businesses
Public ownership of electricity and water is proposed, which the party says would affect how these essential services are owned and managed.
general public
A carbon tax is proposed that would require polluters to pay, which the party says is part of addressing climate change and environmental degradation.

In their own words

“Environmental degradation and climate change pose an existential threat to every aspect of our society.”
“A just transition to a net-zero economy is needed to support workers in fossil fuel-based industries to retrain for new well-paid, secure jobs.”
“Public ownership of electricity and water, a carbon tax and a just transition that supports workers and communities.”
