Breaking the System: The System is Breaking

BREAKING THE SYSTEM: THE SYSTEM IS BREAKING

What's broken in the NZ energy system?

What do we want the future system to look like?

How do we get there?

Who needs to be involved?

Join two seasoned energy rebels to reimagine NZ's energy system. 

This workshop will be hosted via Zoom and we'll be using online interactive tools to unpack these questions as a collective and walk away with a rich canvas of perspectives and ideas.

Please note, you do not need to be a technical energy expert to join this session. If you are interested in breaking down systemic thinking, structures and behaviours - we want you there!
