    Event description

    This event has been postponed until Thursday 24 November. Tickets booked for the original date will still be valid. (If you no longer wish to attend, please return your tickets).

    In today’s world, cities are a source of climate disaster and climate hope. Cities are big enough to make a difference but small enough for concerned citizens to have real influence.  

    Here in Ōtautahi, many people are working for change: riding their bikes, planting trees, shopping local, running sustainable businesses, lobbying city leaders. People are joining groups, and groups are talking to each other. But at times it can feel like city-scale climate action is stuck in traffic.  

    How do we turn people’s generalised disquiet about climate change into city-wide action that improves our lives and secures our future together? Where should we focus our effort? How are people in other cities joining forces to make their actions count?

    Join us in the TSB Space, Level 1 of Turanga, to find out more. Hear from experts, passionate people and groups working in this area.

    Speakers include:

      • Sacha McMeeking,  (Ngāi Tahu), Associate Professor at the University of Canterbury
      • Katherine Peet, Network Waitangi Ōtautahi
      • Cally O’Neil, Te Reo O Ngā Tāngata/The People Speak
      • Joanna Santa Barbara, Co-Chair of Nelson Tasman Climate Forum

    This is a free community event, but bookings are required. You can join us in person or online.

    The series is made possible by the support and enthusiasm of our family of sponsors and supporters, especially Christchurch Conversations Partner Christchurch City Council and Series Research Partner Building Better Homes Towns and Cities: National Science Challenge
