Mike Smith won the right to take major emitters to court. Now Luxon’s Government is changing the law before the evidence can be heard.

Mike Smith won the right to take major emitters to court. Now Luxon’s Government is changing the law before the evidence can be heard.

The Government is moving to protect Fonterra and major polluters from climate lawsuits just as floods, droughts and climate chaos hammer New Zealand harder than ever.

Greenpeace says Luxon’s Government is rewriting climate law to protect corporate polluters like Fonterra from facing accountability in court while New Zealanders carry the cost of climate chaos.
