Stand With Our Pacific Neighbours – Fair Starts Here

The climate crisis is unfair. Pacific communities are facing rising seas, stronger storms and growing climate impacts despite contributing little to the pollution driving the crisis. As a Pacific nation, New Zealand has a responsibility to support our neighbours. By contributing our fair share of climate funding, we can make a difference. Fair starts here.

Cynthia Houniuhi, president of Pacific Island Students Fighting Climate Change (PISFCC) in front of the Uto ni Yalo boat docked at Nuku'alofa. Campaign Make Rich Polluters Pay for the damage they cause

Make Rich Polluters Pay

Climate change affects us all, but not equally. People living in low-income countries and communities are hit hardest by extreme climate disasters. They also have fewer means to recover, deepening inequality and poverty. Meanwhile, big fossil fuel corporations continue to pollute our climate without restraint. They make bumper profits, pay little tax and use their influence to rig the system in their favour.

Keep Funding Climate Action in the Pacific

Right now, our politicians are deciding whether New Zealand will keep funding climate action in the Pacific. Oxfam Aotearoa is asking our government to keep up the good work. Will you add your voice?
