Lawyers for Climate Action NZ Inc (LCANZI, also known as LCANZ) is a climate advocacy group that has been active since 2019.[1][2] A non-profit, it includes over 300 lawyers, solicitors, and academics.[3] LCANZI was created to encourage New Zealand to take more ambitious actions to meet its Paris Agreement commitments.[4][5]
LCANZI has advocated for New Zealand's law and actions to be consistent with its stated commitments under the Paris Agreement, Te Tiriti o Waitangi,[6] and requirements under recent climate regulation such as the Climate Change Response (Zero Carbon) Amendment Act.[4] Activities undertaken by the group have included climate change litigation, consultation, submissions, and pro-bono legal advice.[5]
