"When the next storm comes, will you be one who steps back, or steps up?" Toroa Charteris & Zabeel Scanlan, Westport high-school students. #AF2025

“Risk comes about when people and ecosystems and infrastructure are exposed to those hazards… when it has underlying weaknesses… so we need to think about what we can do to reduce that risk.” David Dodman at #ChristchurchConversations @adaptationfutures.bsky.social #AF2025

As the world’s fastest-warming region, Asia has no time to wait. At #AF2025 in Christchurch, scientists and leaders spotlighted how local knowledge, innovation, and cross-border cooperation are reshaping the region’s response to climate change. www.asiamediacentre.org.nz/af2025-asia-...

Before 15 March we worked hard to flag risks to our community. Since then, I’ve sacrificed health, wealth, and wellbeing, working 100x harder, even alongside officials who failed us in 2019 (and yes, they failed). Yet here we are again with NZ govt ignoring facts and its population. FREE PALESTINE!

Taken down my video-because I agree with dear friends who have suffered unimaginable loss, that is decision made by our government today & the lack of moral compass, is who we are. This government does not however determine who we might yet become, we can be a more just & compassionate nation. 🇵🇸

As dear friends remind me however, we have done this. We can’t deflect - this is who we are. However this does not determine the nation we can yet become, compassionate & just.

We do not generate more income as a nation by giving tax cuts to land lords or tax breaks for billionaires selling heated tobacco products - instead we generate inequality and deplete health #WrongTrack #nzpol

We hope you will join us in uplifting Indigenous voices, strengthening connections across regions, and carrying this shared energy into the Indigenous Forum at Adaptation Futures 2025. #AF2025

WTF is going on at RNZ #NZPol? Do they really need to put "genocide" in quotes almost every time it's mentioned? 🙄 www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

I was reminded of an account I wrote about witnessing the student protests about dramatic rises in tertiary fees in 2010, when I was living & working in the UK. My account seems so naive, yet so much that took place that day has resonated for the next 15 years www.opendemocracy.net/en/where-hav...
