Introduction

Climate change is the challenge of our generation, and young people are the inheritors of humanity’s response to climate change.

For that reason – Generation Zero, a youth-led organisation, was founded with the central purpose of creating a generation-wide movement of young Kiwis working together to secure a safe and thriving zero carbon Aotearoa.

We are witnessing a global shift away from polluting fossil fuels, and as New Zealanders, we are blessed with an abundance of opportunities to make this transition.

We can power our homes, our industries and our economy with clean safe energy. We can move beyond fossil fuels and create a safer and healthier nation by doing so.

These solutions will not come from one minority, one political party, or one ideology. These solutions come from real New Zealanders, from all backgrounds joining together under a central vision.

It is time for New Zealand to step up, act responsibly and secure a safe thriving zero carbon Aotearoa.
