Climate protesters are eight hours into a planned 72 hour blockade of the OMV building in New Plymouth.<\/p>\n\n

More activists are arriving from around the country, and organisers say they\u2019re about to have a shift change – swapping out people forming a human barricade.<\/p>\n\n

So far there have been around sixty people blocking the entrances of OMV, the last major international company to be looking for offshore oil and gas in New Zealand.<\/p>\n\n

There have been some surprising interactions with Taranaki locals in the oil and gas region, captured on a Facebook live. <\/a><\/p>\n\n

Greenpeace New Zealand Programme Director, Niamh O\u2019Flynn, says Taranaki could be a prosperous clean energy hub in New Zealand. <\/p>\n\n

\u201cWhat is needed is the political will to justly transition these workers away from a dying industry and into renewables. That should be championed by the corporates currently making money out of the climate crisis,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cWe’re here because OMV is one of just 100 companies responsible for over 70 per cent of the world’s carbon emissions. We’re in a climate crisis and we can’t afford any new oil. We want OMV to surrender their permits, and leave New Zealand.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Details: The blockade is taking place at OMV\u2019s headquarters 167 Devon Street West, Brooklands, New Plymouth 4310. <\/p>\n\n
