Generation Zero

Youth-led climate action organisation. We mobilise people in Aotearoa to engage with decision-making and campaign for intergenerational climate justice.

[Generation Zero @GenZeroNZ]

Our mahi wouldn't be possible without the intellectual contribution of academics and their teachings. Especially those who have given their time to speak at our events or mentor us through difficult issues. It's time to recognise that mahi fairly. It's time for a real pay rise!

[Generation Zero @GenZeroNZ]

Generation Zero stands in solidarity with members of the @nzteu striking in Waikato who have been suspended without pay. We stand in solidarity also with the ongoing negotiations in other university sites.

[Generation Zero @GenZeroNZ]

GZ isn’t sending a delegation to the UN Climate Change Conference this year, but we need your help to support two rangatahi Māori climate activists, Kaeden and Tiana, to get there!

[Generation Zero @GenZeroNZ]

We support the Global Climate Strike this Friday!
Join the rest of the world in skipping work or school to demand actual climate ACTION from our leaders! 🌏

That icon means the candidate is a renter. You can see what each icon means by long pressing it (on mobile) or hovering in (on desktop). We are currently trying to make it clearer.

Generation Zero gave me an A+ and a little housing icon 🏘

That's what we told Councillors today as we presented our submission on this year's Annual Budget. Make sure you have your say too and show support for the climate action targeted rate! Check out the GZ and @350tamaki submission guide https://t.co/GvQxlNTVbx #akhaveyoursay 2/2

[Generation Zero @GenZeroNZ]

Last year's @AklCouncil climate action progress report gave a clear message - 2030 is looming and we simply aren’t doing enough. It called for urgent and innovative change. The climate action targeted rate is one of many changes needed -we can’t fail at this very first hurdle 1/2

[Generation Zero @GenZeroNZ]

Today's announcement -

🌊✊🏽Pūtiki Update✊🏽🌊

Protect Pūtiki welcomes court findings against Kennedy Point Boat Harbour LTD, however, we still firmly believe that this injunction is an egregious violation of Te Tiriti & should not have been granted in the first place. #ProtectPūtiki

[Generation Zero @GenZeroNZ]

Have you seen this awesome mahi from ‘All Railways’?! Trains are crucial to climate change action. We should be adding more routes, not stopping same-day services like @kiwirail are planning. #saveourtrains . Sign the petition here: https://t.co/jFvG0ZefdQ

Each day that passes is a day that we reach the eyes & ears of Auckland Council, Jacinda Ardern, DOC & other colonial entities who celebrated Waitangi Day, proclaiming this as something they stand by & hold as significant.

[Protect Pūtiki @protect_putiki]

This Waitangi Day we reflect on the continuing fight to honour Te Tiriti o Waitangi. The continuing fight for living and evolving relationships between Māori & non-Māori stemming from Te Tiriti, rather than power forced upon us by Crown Institutions. #ProtectPūtiki
