Over twenty community groups across Aoteaora impacted by mining and drilling for fossil fuels have teamed up to launch a petition today. The petition, which was initiated by Climate Justice Taranaki and Taranaki Energy Watch, calls for the government to end fossil fuel extraction in Aotearoa as soon as 2022. 

News and Editorial Director Jemima Huston speaks to Tim Jones from Coal Action Network Aotearoa, another group backing the petition, about why the action on fossil fuel extraction is important and how people can support the petition. 

Interested in learning more or signing the petition? Head to Action Station to check it out.
