\n End oil exploration\n <\/h1>\n <\/div>\n \n\n \n

\n On April 12 2018, following a long and hard-fought campaign to end oil, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced an end to all offshore oil and gas exploration in New Zealand. This is a huge victory for people power, and for the climate.\r\n\r\nThis came less than a month after Greenpeace, joined with allies who have fought hard on this issue for years, handed over a petition with the names of 45,000 New Zealanders, who were all calling for an end to oil exploration.\r\n\r\nThis victory is proof that when we work together, we can force real change.\r\n\r\nPrime Minister Jacinda Ardern says climate change is this generation\u2019s ‘nuclear-free moment’. And now she\u2019s turned bold words into action. But the fight to end fossil fuel exploration here isn’t over, and we’re going to need you with us!\n <\/p>\n \n\n \n
