About

AoCAN is the New Zealand node of Climate Action Network - a global network of more than 1,500 civil society organisations in over 130 countries taking collective action for climate justice. We believe Aotearoa can chart a just course to a zero carbon future, powered by 100% renewable energy. 

AoCAN has over 45 member organisations: civil society groups, non-governmental organisations and social movements who work together for greater impact. We connect people and organisations who share our vision of a safe, just climate future. We provide a space for New Zealand's climate movement to communicate, collaborate and cooperate: we provide a space for ongoing communication between members, as well as convening working groups and/or meetings for particular sectors or issue areas.

Our member organisations include environmental and human rights organisations, sustainability think tanks, youth movements, faith groups, and trade unions.

AoCAN is a registered incorporated society. You can read our constitution here.
