Each NDC must represent an increase in ambition on the last, which was submitted in 2021.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cEvery parent and grandparent wants to pass on a safe and stable world to our kids. That requires brave and visionary leadership, both of which Luxon is lacking,\u201d says Larsson.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cLuxon\u2019s vision for New Zealand seems to be a landscape ripped open by coal mines, a coastline dotted with oil rigs and fields crammed with cows, knee deep in mud and effluent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>The Luxon Government controversially overturned the 2018 ban on offshore oil and gas exploration, despite advice from MFAT that this is likely to breach our recent free trade agreements with the EU and UK. Coal mines are included in the list for fast-tracking, overriding community will and environmental laws. Luxon has also exempted New Zealand\u2019s most polluting industry &#8211; dairying &#8211; from paying for its emissions through the Emissions Trading Scheme.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cOur country is doing worse on climate change than it was ten years ago,\u201d says Larsson. \u201cThis is what happens when you let polluters write the policy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>Documents released to Greenpeace under the Official Information Act reveal the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/story\/milking-it-how-the-intensive-dairy-industry-rewrote-freshwater-rules-in-their-favour\/\">unprecedented influence of the meat and dairy industry over environmental policy in Luxon\u2019s Government<\/a>. Emails, texts and briefings show that Federated Farmers, Dairy NZ and Beef + Lamb NZ have used privileged access to Ministers to draft policy on freshwater and climate change, to advise on Government communications and to push central Government to instruct local councils to weaken their environmental policies.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThe increasingly rampant wildfires, floods and cyclones we\u2019re witnessing around us are a sign that our planet is sick. If governments won\u2019t stand up to polluters to protect our kids and grandkids, as Luxon has shown he will not, then people will use the courts, protest and other means to save their children from climate disaster,\u201d says Larsson.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<section\n\t\t\tclass=\"boxout post-65568 \"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\tdata-ga-category=\"Take Action

She led Greenpeace Aotearoa\u2019s campaigns against deep sea oil exploration and for solarising New Zealand. She is now leading the team that is working to transform the agriculture system away from intensive dairy farming that is polluting the climate and decimating biodiversity towards ecological farming that works in harmony with people and nature.
