New Zealand faces a major climate challenge: rising emissions from agriculture and transport, driven by economic and population growth.

While policy tools like the Zero Carbon Act and a strengthened Emissions Trading Scheme are in place, meaningful change requires bold action.
Momentum is building.

Consumers are demanding low-emissions choices and businesses are responding. Through initiatives like the Climate Leaders Coalition, over 80 organisations are setting science-based targets and collaborating on ambitious climate solutions.

The Aotearoa Circle supports and accelerates this progress by convening cross-sector leaders to align energy decisions with long-term resilience, sustainability, and intergenerational wellbeing.

We have a narrow window to act. Let’s make it count.
