Beyond the election: A new mandate for the environment

This conference focuses on the next term of government. This timely conference will review key environmental challenges facing Aotearoa and the adequacy of political party responses. We will critique the workability of recent reforms and propose solutions to amend or replace bad law that risks harm to our natural world.

The conference will also seek to identify common ground across the political divide – where shared purpose can drive enduring environmental outcomes.

Grand Millennium Hotel, Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland

This year’s event comes as our government prioritises economic growth over everything – and that’s not a durable approach. It is a real opportunity for EDS and all New Zealanders to renew our collective commitment to look after our place – and bring our political leaders along with us. It’s not too late to turn things around, to reject shallow analysis, self-serving and harmful policy offerings and place care for our natural world and our people at the core of what we demand from our government.
