Vote For Our Environment

If you're really serious about achieving an A/NZ government that takes the environment seriously... you're in the right place.  VFOE is based on the successful campaign in the 1980s that saw first Labour & then National adopt the NFNZ policy. It’s here to elect a government that’s genuinely committed to protecting & restoring nature - now & for future generations - not destroying it. One that puts nature at the heart of decision-making.

If you're really serious about achieving an A/NZ government that takes the environment seriously...  you're in the right place.  VFOE is based on the successful campaign in the 1980s that saw first Labour & then National adopt the NFNZ policy.  It’s here to elect a government that’s genuinely committed to protecting & restoring nature - now & for future generations - not destroying it. One that puts nature at the heart of decision-making.

The majority of Kiwis want meaningful environmental action from government &  we already have the solutions, what we need is the political will to apply them.  VFOE is enabling voters to make it crystal clear to all the parties that the stance they take on the environment is crucial to their voting decisions.  So it's also enabling democracy to function.  If that sounds like you ....welcome!    

You’ll be helping to achieve positive change by:- 

Now - signing the Kiwi Environment Election Pledge & making use of the email provided to tell your MP.

Later - taking part in the co-ordinated emailings to the parties to push the point home (optional)

And spreading the word to your family & community networks to maximise the campaign's potential.

VFOE supports the Nature-Positive Policy Roadmap (NPPR) that was released in early 2026 by WWF, Greenpeace and Forest & Bird. We're calling on all political parties to commit to its core objectives and actions:

  • Protect & Restore Nature

  • Make Polluters Pay

  • Sustainable Food Production

  • Clean Energy & Transport

 A Shared Roadmap to Building a Nature-Positive Aotearoa

The Kiwi Environment Election Pledge

Understanding that decisions made now have inevitable consequences for future generations and that the time left for making the right ones is disappearing 

Recognising that the Nature-Positive Policy Roadmap provides an excellent framework to achieve these vital environmental goals 

I pledge that I will give my votes only to political parties that have policies aligned with the fundamental goals and outcomes of the NPPR AND a concrete, time specific, post-election plan of action to achieve them.  

My votes in the November 2026 election depend on a party's binding commitment to environmental protection and restoration.  Our environment cannot wait and neither can my votes.  No commitment = no votes.
