We had a great time attending the #festivalforthefuture summit recently, Aotearoa's largest social innovation event.

A highlight was the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development workshop centred around indigenous knowledge and mātauranga Maori 👏👏

3rd and final day of @FFTFNZ today - and if yesterday is anything to go by there’ll be more tears of inspiration to flow.

And don’t forget it you’re there and need a bit of down come - swing by the @Xero to help us continue painting by numbers - it’s beautiful to see!

Kicking off @FFTFNZ day three with a panel on leadership in the face of adversity.

How do we re-define success for the new economy?

CEO of @akinafoundation Louise Aitkin says "It's no longer ok for big businesses to think they don't need to care about the issues we face".

Businesses, government communities and individuals all have a role to play.

Great Q's in the 'Ask an expert' session with MfE's Lewis and Kate, experts on climate change policy, like "What needs to be prioritised, climate adaptation or mitigation?"

Check out more questions below which we'll be answering this week!
