Moving Planet was a worldwide day of action to move beyond fossil fuels, with over 2000 events held in more than 175 countries on September 24th 2011! Here in New Zealand 350 Aotearoa led over 35 events, including large gatherings in the main centres. Read more here.

As part of Moving Planet, 350 Aotearoa and Generation Zero launched a petition calling on our leaders (MP's and Council) to move us away from fossil fuels through a series of actions. Read more here. You can still sign the petition online. This will be presented to parliament in early 2012.

In November 2011, 350 Aotearoa received the social innovation award from the Sustainable Business Network for our work in engaging NZ and Pacific communities on the issue of climate change. Read more here.

On May 13-16th 2011 350 Aotearoa ran a 4-day workshop in Wellington, New Zealand. 30 young people from the north to the south of New Zealand came together to learn climate leadership skills and to start putting them into action for Moving Planet. Check it out here.

Dr. James Hansen, the scientist behind the number 350 and one of the world's most prominent and influential climate scientists, came to New Zealand in May 2011. Read more about his visit.

This year 350.org ran the Pasifika Climate Leaders workshop in Fiji in June and took a team of young Pacific people living in New Zealand to participate. The participants returned keen to raise awareness about climate change in New Zealand Pacific communities, through events and initiatives.

Radiowave was a campaign developed for the COP17 climate talks in Durban. African musicians  created a new song, titled “People Power,” that both tells the truth about how hard climate change is affecting Africa and our world, and it calls us to action. Throughout NZ we organised radio interviews to get this song out, and to talk about the 350 climate movement here in Aotearoa. Hear the song and read more here.

Developed and piloted by Nelson City Council in 2010, the Solar Saver programme was highly successful in its first year. That's why 350 Aotearoa and the Nelson Environment Centre decided to spread the word about the programme framework nationwide, encouraging 25 more councils to start up Solar Saver in their area and help local households harness the power of the sun.

Tuvalu and Tokelau entered into States of Emergency in October 2012. With severe water rations of 40 litres per day per household of 6-9 people, basic water needs are only just being met. 350 Aotearoa launched a solidarity act to support those in Tuvalu, particularly our friends at 350 Pacific.

350 threw our support behind a Robin Hood Tax - a tiny tax on banks that will raise billions to help fight poverty and tackle climate change.
