SUMMARY:Doughnuts and Degrowth - Imagining a New Future
DESCRIPTION:Gareth Hughes will share his insights gained from twenty years pushing for transformational change as an activist and politician. He will explore how our current economic system operates and the positive alternatives inspiring people around the world. Gareth is the Aotearoa Country Lead of the Wellbeing Economy Alliance (WEAll). \nJack Santa Barbara will focus on the key tasks of the transformation: reducing energy and material throughput\, and ensuring supports are in place for the anticipated disruptions this will create. Jack Santa Barbara\, a Motueka local\, is a retired CEO and academic. He has a long standing interest in sustainability and social justice issues and writes extensively in the New Zealand media. \nThe topic of ‘degrowth’ was introduced\, at our April Local Matters event\, by Dr. Mike Joy in a packed Mãpua Hall. Dr. Joy spoke about the inevitability of degrowth and the need to prioritize ecological and human wellbeing over economic growth. Our June speakers will further explore the practical implications and benefits of degrowth. \nThe reference to ‘doughnuts’ comes from the well-known book “Doughnut Economics” by Kate Raworth. Doughnut Economics is a theory proposing a change of our economic model as a response to humanity’s major challenge of eliminating poverty within the means of the planet’s limited resources.This is an evening not to be missed and there will be ample scheduled time for questions and discussion. As usual\, supper is included in the ticket price.

SUMMARY:Tom Kay on Making Room for Rivers - Nelson
DESCRIPTION:In the wake of Cyclone Gabrielle\, the way we live with our rivers is at the front of many people’s minds. While it is difficult to discuss for many people\, having a conversation now about the future of river management and flood protection in our region is the only way we can minimise impacts on our communities in the future. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nForest & Bird’s Freshwater Advocate\, Tom Kay will be talking about how the way we have managed our environment has exacerbated flooding and disaster risk\, the impact of flood protection engineering on our rivers and communities\, and the approach we could be taking instead. \n\nTom Kay grew up in Hawke’s Bay but now lives in Wellington with his partner\, where he works as Forest & Bird’s Freshwater Advocate. \nTom developed a keen passion for rivers whitewater kayaking on the Mohaka River throughout his childhood and continues to kayak around Aotearoa. Tom has a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science and a Master of Science in Ecology from Massey University in Palmerston North – where his MSc research focused on measuring changes in river habitat over time. \nTom has worked at Forest & Bird for the better part of six years and has also worked briefly as a Policy Advisor at an environmental consultancy\, as a field team member in a predator control R&D organisation\, and as a raft guide. \nTom’s current interest is figuring out how to get decision-makers and policy-writers to protect the natural character and habitat of rivers\, and make ‘room for rivers’\, rather than just focus on water quality\, quantity\, and flood protection engineering.

SUMMARY:Thomas Cawthron Memorial Lecture - Ice and Us : Adapting to sea level rise
DESCRIPTION:Keynote address by Professor Tim Naish and Professor Richard Levy.\nWith supporting presentation by Cawthron’s Dr Anna Berthelsen and Jacqui Stuart \nMelting land ice is now the single largest driver of global sea-level rise. The latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change stated “2m by 2100 cannot be ruled out”\, depending on how rapidly the Antarctic ice sheet melts and how quickly we reduce global carbon emissions. Coupled with this\, tectonic plate settings are causing ongoing land subsidence in many parts of New Zealand\, including Whakatū Nelson. This lecture will see acclaimed New Zealand scientists Prof Tim Naish and Prof Richard Levy explain how climate change is driving sea level rise and how their science is helping communities throughout Aotearoa respond to the challenges we face now and into the future. \nTheir presentation will be followed by Dr Anna Berthelsen and Jacqui Stuart from Cawthron Institute who will share some of the science Cawthron is doing to understand and find solutions for climate change\, including our work in Antarctica. Cawthron Chief Executive Volker Kuntzsch will MC the event and facilitate a Q&A session will all four speakers at the conclusion of their presentations. \nFor more details and registration: Thomas Cawthron Memorial Lecture Tickets

SUMMARY:Freshwater - the Good\, the Bad\, the Future
DESCRIPTION:Join Lan Pham (former Environment Canterbury Councillor\, Freshwater Ecologist to hear about the wonders of our native fish and the latest on the state of Aoteroa New Zealand’s freshwater; the implications for both human health and the health of our environment; and what is happening (or not happening) nationally\, internationally and locally to ensure we can have healthy\, safe\, drinking water and freshwater ecosystems for us\, our kids and generations to come.  Lan Pham says “Clean\, healthy freshwater is absolutely critical to the health of not only our environment\, but ourselves.” \n\n\nThe evening will be complemented by a panel with Annette Litherland\, Regional Coordinator at NZ Landcare Trust and closely involved in the local Motueka and Moutere Catchment Collectives and Barbara Nicholas\, a local expert in community engagement. After a short introduction they will exchange their knowledge and take part in answering questions from the public.  The meeting will be MC-ed by Steve Richard\, owner of the Jester House\, well known in the area\, and an active member of the Moutere Catchment Collective. Although Lan is also a Green Party candidate\, this event is a non-political event with our freshwater environment as the theme of the night. \nLan Pham’s background is in Freshwater Ecology (MSc) where it was Aotearoa’s quirky endangered native fish that first got her involved in tricky intergenerational issues like freshwater pollution and climate change. Over the last 15 years Lan has worked with community groups\, schools\, farmers\, iwi and government agencies across Southland\, Otago and Canterbury on grass-roots freshwater restoration projects\,  as a freshwater ranger for DoC and as founder and trustee of Working Waters Trust. \nLan has served the last 6 years in Local Government as a Regional Councillor on Environment Canterbury from 2016 – 2022 where she championed action for nature\, climate and people. Her initial election campaign for Environment Canterbury in 2016 was launched while on a year-long placement on Raoul Island in the Kermadecs – a five-day\, 1000km boat ride away. \nLooking at the state of our freshwater environment\, Lan says: “Getting ourselves out of this mess is about leaving a better future for our kids and grandkids. We all have a part to play in this. We can all be part of this change through our votes\, through using our voice\, through taking action.”
