The Green Party believes we can have a country with a smart economy that protects our natural capital, enhances our quality of life, and shares our prosperity fairly. Such a country is, in the words of one of our leading scientists Sir Paul Callagham, "a place where talent wants to live".
We have recently announced our Green Jobs initiative — a practical economic plan that creates decent jobs, adds resilience to our economy, and protects our natural environment. It is a plan for clean green prosperity for all New Zealanders.
Our plan will create 100,000 new jobs through direct government investment in housing, by ensuring our state-owned energy companies capture the massive export opportunities in the renewable energy sector, and, most importantly, by shifting the drivers for green jobs in the private sector.
