Earth+ Workshop for Resilience and Emissions Reduction for Not-For-Profits

• Do you want to know how you can simply and effectively measure and reduce your organisation’s emissions?
• Do you want to be better prepared for dealing with the effects of climate change?
• Are you thinking about how small steps today can make a big difference to Aotearoa’s future?

In partnership with Rātā Foundation we are offering a free programme to support community organisations with the know-how and tools to start their climate journey.

About the programme:

You will access support to take some simple, effective steps on your organisation’s resilience and climate journey – all at your own pace.

It begins with a 1.5 day workshop to kick things off. By the end of the workshop, you’ll have:

• An understanding of resilience and climate change as it relates to your organisation’s context.
• Explored how to go about developing a climate/environmental policy statement and resilience plan for your organisation.
• A snapshot of your carbon footprint and access to Cogo, an easy-to-use tool to measure your progress on emissions reduction.
• Clear, actionable next steps on your resilience and climate journey and free-to-use practical tools and templates.

We know that every organisation’s journey is different, so we have also planned for one-on-one expert support, that you can access when you need it until the end of 2025. This includes:

• Access to a dedicated online community where you can connect with the Terra Nova team, other Rātā grantees and specialised partners. Ask questions, access resources and share your journey.
• Support to measure your impact using a tool that will help communicate progress and results.

Workshop times: 6th November | 10am - 4pm & 7th November | 9.30am - 12.30pm

Cost: Participation in the programme is supported by The Rātā Foundation and is at no cost to participants. Please note that positions are limited and by registering you are indicating your firm commitment to attend the workshop and participate in the programme.

Workshop requirements: You will need to bring a laptop and have access to your organisation’s Xero, Kiwibank or MYOB account to generate an emissions profile with Cogo. 

Who from my organisation should attend? We suggest two to three attendees from organisations attend. To make the most of the workshop we suggest a member of the leadership team take part, and if you have a team member who has – or may have – responsibilities for your organisation’s climate commitment, it would be beneficial if they attend.

The session focusing on carbon measurement requires familiarity with, and access to, your organisation’s Xero (or Kiwibank) account, which may require an additional team member attending for that session.
