Climate Karanga Marlborough

Who we Are

In May 2015, 70 year old Blenheim resident Bill McEwan and his son Robbie 33, sat in the centre of Blenheim and fasted for a week. They were dismayed by the lack of understanding in Marlborough around climate change. They called the action a karanga - a call. They were joined at the end of the week by others and subsequently Climate Karanga Marlborough (CKM) was created. We are active in Marlborough educating, lobbying and supporting the community.

Mission
