The Nelson Tasman Climate Forum is a community-led initiative open to everyone. Our mission is to weave individuals, households, civil society organisations, businesses, councils and iwi together around urgent, strategic action on climate change in the Nelson-Tasman region.

We hold face-to-face hui four times each year. These hui are an opportunity to connect, welcome new people into the Forum, share and celebrate progress, action and ideas together.

From 10am - 12.30pm we will be:

connecting over morning tea
hearing an update on recent activity from our Forum groups
hearing an update from Mayor Rachel Reese and Mayor Tim King
electing members to our Leadership Group for the coming year

From 12.30pm - 1.30pm we will be:

spending time in our Forum groups, welcoming new members into those groups, and working on our group action plans for this year
sharing a potluck lunch

From 1.30pm - 3.30pm you can choose from:

enjoying an eco-dyeing workshop to learn about low-carbon methods of production that we can practice ourselves, increasing our community resilience
planting trees to support local restoration projects
hanging out at the Moutere Inn, taking time to connect with each other

You're welcome to attend the whole hui, or join for as long as you're able to.

If you'd like to stay for the potluck lunch, please bring a small plate of food to share. It doesn't need to be anything fancy - a plate of fruit, crackers, baking, a salad - anything goes!

The hui is open to all so invite your friends, whānau, school mates, work mates, flat mates, and anyone else you know who is interested in joining our kōrero and taking urgent, strategic climate action in Nelson Tasman.

A light morning tea will be provided, so please register for a free ticket so we know numbers for catering purposes.

We'll also do our best to arrange ride-sharing to save transport emissions :-)
