Living Streets Aotearoa, the national walking advocacy group, has welcomed some good news for pedestrians in the new Emissions Reduction Plan, but called on the Government to act faster and go further to decarbonise transport. Living Streets Aotearoa Vice-President Tim Jones said “In the race to decarbonise our society and economy by 2050, the years between now and 2030 are crucial, because that’s when the steepest emissions reductions need to happen. And transport, especially in cities, is the sector we can decarbonise fastest – but only if we take the right steps.”
We are pleased announce that the Living Streets Aotearoa Inc. AGM will be held on Wednesday 29 September 2021 at 7:30 pm by Zoom.
This meeting is an opportunity to acknowledge the work of President Andy Smith, who sadly passed away in July this year. Then we will attend to the formal business of our organisation for the year ended 31 March 2021.
All current members are invited to participate and will be able to vote at this meeting.
