Greenpeace is applauding the government\u2019s announcement that it will invest in a transition away from coal to electricity at Glenbrook Steel Mill. The move would mean 800,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions saved each year which is equivalent to one percent of New Zealand\u2019s annual emissions.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s great to finally see some real climate action from Chris Hipkins\u2019 Government,\u201d says Greenpeace spokesperson Amanda Larsson.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cThis will significantly reduce carbon pollution from New Zealand’s biggest coal user, and that\u2019s a great step in the right direction. Transitioning away from fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas is essential to heal the climate and prevent more extreme weather disasters.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cFrom Cyclone Gabrielle in the north to severe droughts in the south, communities across Aotearoa are experiencing the devastating consequences of a climate crisis that is escalating in severity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

While Greenpeace welcomes the Glenbrook Steel Mill announcement, Larsson also says it isn\u2019t enough and must be the start of a more ambitious Climate Shift for this Government.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cFor too long, successive governments have been too timid to regulate the most polluting industry in New Zealand: intensive dairy. Any government that is serious about preventing worsening climate disasters must work to transition away from big dairy to ecological, low-emissions farming.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cThe Glenbrook Steel announcement is a good step in the right direction. Now let\u2019s keep the steel sharp with action on New Zealand\u2019s biggest polluter: intensive dairy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
