Investing in climate action and nature

Policy to be released in June

Emissions from light vehicles are the number one source of CO2 pollution for Wellington city. Prioritising development of well located new housing, combined with active and public transport upgrades are the critical actions to reduce Wellingtons emissions.

Wellington has some amazing natural spaces and has built a global reputation in conservation. However, much of our town belt and many of our parks are riddled with weeds. Pest control efforts have not been completed and are in jeopardy. I want to ensure the council invests adequately to continue progress enhancing the natural environment that supports our city.
