Zero Together

Everyday actions for a better climate future.

Update

Due to budget constraints, our Zero Together programme will be changing from its current form, and we won't offer further courses for now. However, we're actively exploring alternative approaches to ensure continued access to course resources for community use. Register to be informed about future developments.

Collective action on climate change is important, but we can make a difference in our daily lives too.

Zero Together is a series of practical interactive sessions developed by Wellington City Council for Wellingtonians wanting to reduce the carbon emissions from their daily lives.

Topics covered include transport, energy use, waste, food, shopping habits and more.

Getting to Zero Together workshops

We've designed resources to be worked through in small discussion groups, led by a community facilitator. Over five sessions, participants are supported to explore new ideas, share experiences, and are inspired to take action.

Register your interest

While we're not organising further courses, we're exploring ways to make course resources available for community use. Register if you would like to be informed of future developments.

Together, our actions add up

Alongside hundreds of other cities and countries, Wellington has pledged to become a net zero carbon city by 2050. Zero carbon is an achievable but ambitious goal, and time is short.

With household behaviour contributing to 71% of the country’s carbon emissions, our daily decisions can have a significant collective impact. Most New Zealanders think we can reduce climate change and would make lifestyle changes to do so. However, it can be difficult to know where to start and how we can be most effective.

Zero Together makes climate action accessible, enjoyable and effective:

  • highlighting opportunities and resources available in Wellington
  • balancing information with discussion
  • bringing people together to share ideas and create connections
  • making the link between climate action and benefits for the environment, community resilience, your budget and your health.
