Policies

Restore natural environments to provide wildlife habitats, carbon sinks and sustainable and effective buffers between homes and rising waterways.

Provide real transport choices to make it easy for people to move away from increasingly expensive petrol and cut our greenhouse gas emissions.

Clean up our rivers so they become ecologically sustainable and a publicly accessible source of free recreation and kai.

Connecting residents into emergency planning and giving community groups direct access to resources during a climate event.

For low fares, accessible routes and a commitment to a mass rapid transit system, including rail, for greater Christchurch and Canterbury.

Ensure councils within Canterbury understand that movement reduction via urban design is key to carbon reduction.

Educate the public on the benefits to them of public transport and how to utilise it better. Occasional use can grow.

Commit to upgrading vulnerable and building simpler infrastructure while ensuring the use up to date, carbon efficient methods.
