Regional emissions targets
What does a low-emissions future actually look like for Nelson Tasman?
We are pushing to make it real.
We’re developing clear, science-based targets for reducing emissions across our region, aligned with Aotearoa’s commitments under the Paris Agreement.
But we don’t stop at targets.
We:
- Map out practical pathways to get there
- Work with councils to adopt and act on these plans
- Share clear, accessible information with the community
Because targets only matter if they lead to action — and progress people can see.

The Climate Action Book
The Nelson Tasman Climate Forum offers this plan for every citizen of our region — for individuals, households, businesses, farmers, schools and colleges, religious organisations, councils and iwi. We also hope to help other parts of Aotearoa to develop their own Climate Action Plans and contribute to the development of Climate Action Plans around the world.
