The Green Party wants a commitment to climate action from a potential coalition partner.

Co-leader James Shaw voiced his distaste at the prospect of a National-Act alliance in a 'State of the Planet' address yesterday.

He said it would be the most "reactionary, race-baiting, right-wing" government in decades.

Clint Smith, a former advisor to Jacinda Ardern, says that the Greens aren't happy with the Prime Minister's policy bonfire either.

He says they're concerned Hipkins' leadership is moving away from climate.
