Ban Fossil Fuel Ads and Sponsorships in Aotearoa.
We are calling on the New Zealand Government to ban all fossil fuel ads and sponsorships in Aotearoa.
Why is this important?
Fossil fuels are the biggest driver of climate change—and just like tobacco, they’re harming our health, our environment, and our future. Yet fossil fuel companies continue to run ads and sponsorships that mislead the public and delay climate action.
It’s time to stop the greenwashing.
Just as Aotearoa once led the world in banning tobacco advertising, we must now ban fossil fuel ads and sponsorships. Other countries like France, the Netherlands, and the UK are already doing it. Local councils in Australia have joined in too[1].
Here in Aotearoa, companies like Z Energy are under fire for deceptive climate marketing[2].
We can’t allow fossil fuel giants to shape the public narrative while continuing to pollute.
We can’t allow fossil fuel giants to shape the public narrative while continuing to pollute.
We urge you to support a national ban on fossil fuel advertising and sponsorships. Join us in building a safer, healthier, climate-resilient Aotearoa.
