Yesterday attended and addressed the Generation Zero summit in Wellington (New Zealand). They describe themselves as follows:
"Climate change is the challenge of our generation, and young people are the inheritors of humanity’s response to climate change.
For that reason – Generation Zero, a youth-led organisation, was founded with the central purpose of providing solutions for New Zealand to cut carbon pollution through smarter transport, liveable cities & independence from fossil fuels".
Many of their value drivers align closely to my own personal values and indeed those of Iwi and Maori. Accordingly we agreed to co-ordinate and collaborate together on climate change and sustainable development action.

3. CLIMATE CHANGE AND IWI
Iwi leadership Dr. Apirana Mahuika – Chairman of Iwi leadership Group (Climate change)
Climate change is a critical and important issue for Iwi and Maori given:
• Our intergenerational commitment; and
• Our integrated value drivers
• Economics
• Social (people)
• Environment; and
• Culture (our identity)
6. Iwi leadership on ETS pricing policy

Editor's Notes
Some key findings
$37 billion is likely conservative and growing fast (but, under the radar)
Asset productivity is lower than peer non-Maori with 1.2 million hectares of under-utilized Maori lands
Science and technology – a key enabler to lifting productivity
Together with intergenerationalism, and kaitiakitanga value drivers will be a major driver of sustainable development for Maori and New Zealand
Forestry Proposal
100,000 hectares per year for 10 years
1 million hectares of new forests effectively doubling the size of the New Zealand forest industry
Would become New Zealand’s strategy to meet medium to long term international emission reduction obligations. Where currently New Zealand has no strategy and emissions are rising.
Would kick start a New Zealand clean tech and low emission economy.
Our key value drivers
Rising cost of energy
Disproportionate impact on Maori households
Create new community-owned enterprise
Create new high skilled jobs for whanau
