Read our submission on Auckland Council's Emergency Budget - June 2020
Local government is a critical area for climate action and keeping councils and council controlled organisations to task is important. For that reason, and alongside the Equal Justice Project, an Auckland based student organisation, LCANZI made a submission on the Auckland Council’s Emergency Budget on 18 June 2020.
The overall message of our submission was that climate change initiatives should not be delayed due to the financial impact of COVID-19. Our letter also set out our view that Auckland Council, like all other local authorities, has statutory responsibilities that require it to address climate change.
