Shaw promises more green transport action
Re-elected Green Party co-leader James Shaw says more needs to be done to cut climate pollution from transport, energy and agriculture.
“Our historic programme of work on climate change, which is now backed by billions of dollars of investment, is something that our members and I are very proud of,” says Shaw who received 138 of 142 Green Party delegate votes on September 10 in being re-elected co-leader alongside Marama Davidson.
“But there is so much more we need to do,” adds Shaw, explaining he will be pushing hard for action to rapidly cut climate pollution during the next year.
The climate change minister also wants to ensure the Greens are part of the next government.
Davidson says she’s seen how hard Shaw has pushed Labour to take more radical climate action. “Much like me, he gets frustrated at the slow pace of change and wants to see the Government move much faster than it is,” she adds.
