SUMMARY:Let's Reconnect to Nature through a Forest bathing experience
DESCRIPTION:Experience the therapeutic and uplifting effects of time in a forest. We’ll walk-about. Sit. Listen. Taste. Touch. Share. All this in the peaceful natural area of upper Maire Stream (43 Highview Drive\, Wakatu\, Nelson 7011). Led by Maire Stream Guardian Anne Dickinson. \nResearch from the Japanese way of forest bathing\, known as Shinrin-yoko\, shows significant effects on individual health\, relaxation\, and well-being. We’ll spend time together taking in the natural surroundings and exploring our connection to nature through writing\, breathing meditation\, and perhaps even singing a song together. \nThis event is free and any koha donations will go to the restoration of the Marie Stream.  Register your name and email address here in case of a weather cancellation. Please wear sturdy footwear and bring a small blanket or towel\, a notebook/paper and something to write with\, and water to drink. \nLearn more about the “Nature connections benefits” to regenerate our Planet here: Nature Connection | Project Regeneration and Forest bathing here. \nLearn more about the Maire Stream project here: https://www.facebook.com/mairestreamnurturers \n\nThis event is part of Climate Action Festival.

SUMMARY:Energy\, transport and climate: discussions we're not having - Talk by Lindsay Wood
DESCRIPTION:Energy\, transport and climate: discussions we’re not having’\, will be joining the dots between deep ocean circulation and Nelson traffic and the nonsense of trying to build our way out of congestion.  \nLindsay Wood runs climate strategy company Resilienz Ltd. and “specialises in being a generalist” as he engages with climate initiatives across a wide spectrum.  \nRecent projects have included carbon calculators for construction and for vehicles; development of regional carbon reduction targets; fact checking claims on low carbon concrete; and research with BRANZ into carbon assessment tools.  \nLindsay also regularly writes and broadcasts on climate\, and received a 2024 New Year Honour for services to environmental sustainability and climate change awareness.

SUMMARY:Webinar - Workplace Solutions To The Climate Challenge
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this webinar\, where Des Casey will share insights from his new book “Nature’s Future Our Future“. \nPeople from a broad variety of occupations\,  including teaching\, healthcare\, office work and sports\, can impact our natural environment through their day-to-day work. \n“Nature faces a crossroads. What will we\, ourselves a part of nature\, do? Opportunities still exist to activate and mobilise qualities of creativity\, generosity\, courage and wisdom. Hope and change reside in these attributes of the human spirit. \n\n\n\n\nSeveral central premises are maintained throughout the book. They include a bringing together of our occupational lives – what we do at work – and nature’s needs. Closing this gap will be pivotal for nature’s future and for our own. Political\, economic and commercial life is critiqued; society’s belief systems and priorities are challenged. A very different consciousness of what drives environmental deterioration is paramount. So too is strong and focused leadership. Practical essays review a selection of specific occupations as examples of the book’s central themes“. \nPart of the discussion will allow us to reflect on the following points: \n\nEDUCATION is not to be confused with knowing. The environmental crisis can be understood as being a disorder in the minds of the dominant species – not simply a problem ‘out there’. Instead of nature being viewed as outside the fields of education\, it must become the initial stage and lectern for all learning\nWhat if ACCOUNTANCY took into account that nature too has an economy – of gains and losses\, ledgers\, limits and aspirations? What if accountancy was not organised and fixed around neo-liberal economics\, but around the systems and ecological realities of nature?\nMight the TRADES and UNIONS become forces exposing the criminality that drives environmental decline as they strive to do with the widening margins between rich and poor.\nRegenerative FARMING is being talked about and sometimes adopted in some quarters\, but many more resist. If ever there is an occupation that might lead in the care of land\, water and climate it is farmers. They walk the land. Time to break from a historical tendency to presume privilege. Support\, yes; exemption\, no.\nEnvironmentally\, the LEGAL PROFESSION is split down the middle – those who defend the enironment and those who defend policy and economics set on destroying it. How will the profession unify and respond if/when climate\, extinctions\, poisoning of waterways and oceans head closer to collapse?.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease register following this link here.

SUMMARY:Takeaways from the Environmental Defence Society Conference
DESCRIPTION:Nature and Climate Group convener Fiona Ede will present a Nelson-Tasman perspective of this year’s high-profile EDS Conference\, held in Christchurch in June. \n\n\n\nThe recent Environmental Defence Society conference\, “The Future is Now” brought together resource managers\, conservationists\, politicians\, rangitahi\, iwi\, researchers\, policy makers and others\, to address the twin crises of climate change and biodiversity loss. Sessions focused on freshwater reforms and changes in biodiversity management\,  renewable energy\, agriculture\, fisheries\, marine ecosystems\, conservation and nature-based solutions.\n\nPresenters ranged from deep-sea trawling practitioners to iwi using mātauranga Māori to manage their land\, and the Ministers of Conservation\, Climate Change and Regional Development.\n\nSolutions focused on place-based approaches that are small-scale in nature\, rather than large-scale\, systemic change/programmes\, which are hampered by lack of resources and lack of data to drive change.\n\n\n\n\nTo take part in the feedback on this Conference\, join this zoom link at 12.30pm on Friday: Takeaways from the EDS Conference

SUMMARY:Insights from Psychology for Climate Change Communications
DESCRIPTION:International Climate and Resilience webinar series \nSpeaker: Wändi Bruine de Bruin\, University of Southern California \nAbstract: Climate change poses a serious threat to people around the world. Organizations such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) are tasked with communicating about climate change with international audiences of policy makers and members of the general public. These communications can be complex and\, in the words of one of our research participants\, “talk over people’s heads.” In this presentation\, I will discuss my ongoing work with various organizations on understanding and informing public perceptions of climate change\, and making climate change communications more accessible. \nBio: Wändi Bruine de Bruin is Provost Professor of Public Policy\, Psychology\, and Behavioral Science at the University of Southern California (USC)\, where she serves as the director of the USC Schaeffer Behavioral Science & Policy initiative. Her research aims to understand and inform how people make decisions about their personal health\, their carbon footprint\, and their household finances. She has published more than 150 peer-reviewed publications on these topics. She is an editorial board member for the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Applied\, Perspectives on Psychological Science\, the Journal of Behavioral Decision Making\, Decision\, Medical Decision Making\, the Journal of Risk Research\, and Psychology & Aging. She previously served on expert panels for the National Academy of Sciences on Communicating Science Effectively and for the Council of the Canadian Academies on Health Product Risk Communication. \nJoin on Zoom using this link: Webinar
