TOGETHER WE CAN MOVE CLIMATE ACTION BEYOND POLITICS

To the Parliament of Aotearoa , Three years ago, a group of young New Zealanders began to call for a new climate law - the Zero Carbon Bill - to put climate action beyond politics. Now, you are on the verge of voting to pass it into law. A lot has changed in the last three years. • The IPCC has shown the critical importance of keeping global warming below 1.5C; • Over 120 New Zealand businesses have joined the Climate Leaders Coalition; • Thousands of young students and adults (3.5% of NZ’s population) of all political stripes took to the streets, de- manding action on climate change; and • Tens of thousands of New Zealanders signed a petition backing the Zero Carbon Bill. New Zealanders know climate change threatens our common values. We must all do our bit. We are rising to the chal- lenge of getting to net zero carbon emissions now, but we need Parliament to provide certainty by uniting behind the Zero Carbon Bill. As businesses, community groups and people from all over Aotearoa New Zealand we implore you to vote in favour of this new law - and not to weaken it with last minute amendments. The climate crisis is too important to be a political football. We have seen the impact of other parliaments around the world passing climate legislation with cross-party support, and we urge our Parliament to do the same. Please ake this chance - for a sustainable economy and a safe climate fu- ture. We urge you to create a just climate legacy for all New Zealanders. He waka eke noa,
