flag Over 100 protested in Christchurch, halting coal trains and opposing a major coal expansion.

flag On December 6, 2025, over 100 people attended the Carnival For Change in Christchurch, organized by climate and social justice groups, to support non-violent actions blocking coal trains from reaching Lyttelton Port. flag KiwiRail canceled all coal trains that day, a key outcome of the protest. flag The event opposed Bathurst Resources’ proposed coal mine expansion on the ecologically sensitive Denniston Plateau, which critics say would generate 53 million tonnes of emissions and bypass public input under the Fast Track Act. flag Activists emphasized the link between climate, environmental, and social justice, promoting community solidarity and a sustainable future.
