This is an invitation to join a movement - to take one day and use it to stop the climate crisis.
On October 24th, we will stand together as one planet and call for a fair global climate treaty. United by a common call to action, we'll make it clear: the world needs an international plan that meets the latest science and gets us back to safety.
As New Zealand will be the first country to see the sun rise on October 24th we have to think big and think creative to set the ball rolling! The movement has just begun, and it needs your help.
URGENT : 350 Call to Action: Have Your Say on New Zealand's 2020 Emissions Target Policy!
What's going on?!

The Government's current emissions reduction target is 50% (relative to 1990 levels) by 2050.
We've summarised the details of the consultations, and the reasoning behind a 40% by 2020 target in a handy 350 Aotearoa Guide to Consultation.
The 350 Dunedin crew created this short video to sum up what we're asking from our Government, and why...

- If you're able to attend a meeting, take along a hard copy of your organisation or group's feelings on the issue to hand to Government officials, incase you don't get much of an opportunity to speak. Make sure you include a bit of information about what your group does, and the number of people you are representing.
- Even if you can't attend a meeting, we still need to send the Government your message! You can...
