SUMMARY:Whakatū Nelson Climate Change Strategy - Discuss and share your thoughts
DESCRIPTION:“Global efforts to address climate change are falling short. Whakatū Nelson must rapidly address climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing resilience to climate disruption. \nWhat we do now is crucial for determining our future. Tackling global greenhouse gas emissions will require coordination at an unprecedented scale – every community\, city and country needs to do their part. Although Nelson’s greenhouse gas emissions are small in the global context\, what we do in our city matters. \nAs the effects of climate change are increasingly being felt in Whakatū Nelson\, it is crucial that we take action now to reduce the disruption that climate change will cause to our lives and the things we care about. \nWhen it comes to the climate\, we’re all on the same team. We all share responsibility to act now\, particularly for future generations who will be impacted the most by climate change. \nThe draft Whakatū Nelson Climate Change Strategy is our path forward. It shows all of us – Council\, businesses\, landowners\, community groups\, iwi and whānau\, individuals – the roles we can play in tackling climate change. It is our collective roadmap to reduce emissions and prepare for unavoidable changes. It asks us to meet the needs of today without borrowing from tomorrow”. \nMore information on the Shape Nelson website HERE. \nThe Draft Climate Change Strategy can be read HERE. \nNelson City Councils also organised the opportunity for the Community to engage\, learn\, and discuss about this important Strategy. \nTherefore they are organising climate conversations\, on Mondays\, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11am to 1pm at the Cultural Conversations Hub from 10th of March to the 17th of April (123 Bridge Street\, in Nelson). Everybody is welcome to grab a cup of tea while listening or discussing with key speakers. See the full program HERE.

SUMMARY:Jonathan Boston - Trust\, Science and Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Trust\, Science and Climate Change \nClimate scientists tell us that we’re heading for a world so warm that our grandchildren’s lives will be miserable. \nIndustry tells us to keep consuming fossil fuels or even constructs misinformation to ensure that we’ll do so. \nPeople elect politicians that assign low priority to acting on this information\, or even deny its truth. \nThis is deeply concerning. Whom do you trust with your future and why? \nWe have an opportunity to discuss this with an Emeritus Professor of Public Policy in Jonathan Boston who will be visiting Nelson. Come to Pūtangitangi/Greenmeadows 5.30-7pm Friday 21st March. \nJonathan Boston  ONZM – Emeritus Professor of Public Policy – Wellington School of Business and Government | Ōrauariki – Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington \nPlease register here if you plan to come. Indeed\, places are limited due to the event nearly sold out: Registration to the event

SUMMARY:Give feedback on NCC’s new climate plan - Online brainstorming session
DESCRIPTION:As you may know\, Nelson City Council has published its Climate Strategy and Action Plan. \nWe were very pleased that it contains the target emissions reduction figure that the Forum Targets Group had calculated as one of its two choices of target. It contains many other admirable features\, such as appropriate attention to iwi climate plans. \nIt deserves a thoughtful response from the Forum. In particular the NCC climate team are eager for community feedback on community plans for emissions reduction and adaptation to place alongside actions that the council plans. \nWe are also eager to counter some arguments that came up in council discussions\, and that may be raised in future to weaken the plan. \nThe Climate Forum plans to have an online session to generate material for a well-considered submission on this plan. This will be on Tuesday\, April 1st\, 7.30-9pm. \nThe Forum’s Submissions Group will take the material generated by this session and put together a submission to present our ideas to the council. \nYou can join this session with this zoom link (password if requested is NTCF – email coordinator@ntcf.nz if you face troubles to connect) and it is strongly recommended that you read the NCC Climate Plan first (available here) and give some thought to ten questions that will be addressed in our submission (here are the questions).

SUMMARY:Wildlife of the Southern Ocean
DESCRIPTION:Why a trip to the Sub Antarctic Islands?  It was a personal interest trip to see the southern part of New Zealand. The talk will give an impression of visiting the islands from a novice’s point of view. The islands we visited were Campbell Island\, Auckland Islands and the Snares.  A great resource for the islands is the book “Galapagos of the Antarctic” by Rodney Russ and Aleks Terauds. \nLesley grew up in Christchurch and attended the University of Canterbury where she earned a BSc Hons degree in geology. Since it was 1970\, she could not get a job in New Zealand\, so ended up in the outback of Western Australia working for a mining company looking for nickel. Next she married an American and moved to California where she attended the University of California at Berkeley earning a MS in Engineering Geology. Then it was back to New Zealand where her daughter and son were born. The stay was short lived\, and the family relocated to northern California in 1980. Lesley reinvented herself as a teacher and spent twenty years teaching special education in the public school system. She was active with the Boy Scouts while her son grew up in the programme. Lesley has always been active as a volunteer in her community such as being on committees and doing gardening projects. Finally\, after her retirement\, three of the family relocated back to New Zealand and have made a home in Nelson. \nTalk is at 2pm on Sunday 1st of June. \nMeet in the Activities Room\, Nelson Public Library. \nCost: $3. Pay at the door or you can direct credit 03-1354-0183881-00

SUMMARY:Motueka Community film circle is back!
DESCRIPTION:This film highlights how community-driven efforts to establish water-retention landscapes can impact water conservation.  It follows a group of young people grappling with the climate crisis while they weave in inspiring stories of regenerative ecosystem design to create water retention in communities\, villages\, and regions. \nThis documentary shows us how essential intact water cycles are for climate stability\, and the potential of decentralised rainwater retention systems for restoring broken water cycles\, refilling aquifers and cooling the atmosphere. \nThe film will be followed by a facilitated discussion. Can we create a more resilient landscape around Motueka by better holding and directing water to balance droughts and floods? \nSnacks and beverages will be available for purchase. \nTickets are $10 and can be reserved by emailing The Gecko at: gecko.theatre@xtra.co.nz. \nSubsidised tickets for this event are made possible by the Network Tasman Charitable Trust\, helping getting the word out about the Take the Jump Campaign and the simple and easy shifts that everybody can make to help the planet.

SUMMARY:Nature and Climate: Meet your Candidates and hear their views.
DESCRIPTION:Nelson Tasman Climate Forum\, Forest and Bird and Tasman Environmental Trust have teamed up to host a series of Zoom sessions where both mayoral and council candidates will be invited to answer questions about the role they intend to play in advancing Nature and Climate  policies. \nThe recent weather events brought home how important it is to have representatives at the local government level who understand the causes of climate change\, and its effects\, including impacts on the many species with whom we humans share our region. \nDrawing on a set of prepared questions\, our candidates will be challenged on their Nature and climate credentials and aspirations. Then the session will be open to your questions. \nOur hope is that these sessions will give voters a useful overview of their options while highlighting to the candidates that there is a public expectation that Nature and climate change should be at the forefront of their thinking and their actions. \nIf you are interested in the protection and restoration of Nature\, and in climate change mitigation and adaptation at the local governance level\, and want to hear from the candidates on this subject\, this evening is for you! \nJoin us on Zoom (and in person for the Richmond meeting) on the following dates\, all meetings at 7-8pm: \nMotueka Ward: 2nd September: event passed. \nMayoral candidates: 4th of September : event passed. \nGolden Bay: event cancelled. \nLakes Murchison: event cancelled. \nRichmond: 11th of September : Hope Recreational Hall\, 184 Main Road – Hope. (!! this event is now in person!!). There has been a change in the arrangements for the Richmond Ward event. It will now be held in person – 7 to 8pm on September 11th\, in Hope Recreational Hall\, 184 Main Road.\, Hope\, just outside Richmond.   \nThe evening will begin with a formal Q&A for candidates\, followed by an opportunity for questions from attendees. Richmond candidates Jo Ellis\, Mark Greening\, Kit Maling\, Timo Neubauer\, and Daniel Shirley are confirmed for this Q&A. \nThis meeting will be preceded at 6.30pm by a meeting with Richmond Ward councillors on Plan Change 81\, which relates to the use of rural land for residential and industrial purposes. Land use is an aspect of the protection of Nature and Climate; all are encouraged to attend this meeting too. \nYour hosts will be Joanna Santa Barbara (NTCF)\, Scott Burnett (F&B) and Sky Davies (TET).
