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).

SUMMARY:ONLINE - Taking Care of our Rivers in the Face of Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:This winter’s extreme conditions\, which are likely to recur\, highlight two options for adaptation: keep building dikes and rebuilding as before\, or change course by learning from nature and adapting to the rhythms of our rivers. \nEnvironmental scientist and resource management expert Tom Kay will present evidence about how environmental management has exacerbated the risks of flooding and disasters and the impact of flood protection structures on our rivers and communities. Kay will propose solutions for managing land around rivers as our warming climate increases flood risk. \nMaking space for rivers and allowing them to reclaim parts of their natural floodplains in strategic locations is a natural solution to climate change that will protect communities from devastating floods while restoring the environment and improving local recreational opportunities. \nRegister here. \n  \n\nThis event is part of Climate Action Festival 2025.
