generation zero, sustainable development and maori leadership
DESCRIPTION
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.TRANSCRIPT

COMMUNITY-OWNED RENEWABLE ENERGY
Kaitiakitanga (sustainability)
Practical case study leveraging community owned assets towards a flagship marae-owned renewable energy project at Omaio in the Eastern Bay of Plenty
Our goals and non-negotiables
Our non-negotiables
• Never put our land at risk; and
• Leadership remains with us
Our goals:
• Cheap power for the whanau through an energy company owned by the hapu;
• Energy security and a new revenue stream for the hapu;
• New and real jobs; and• Model project management approaches
