Accelerated action: Co-design interdisciplinary courses across institutions #NZ_SDG

[Public Policy Institute @PolicyAuckland]

'Education Group' action plan #NZ_SDG

[NZ SDG Summit 19 @sdg_nz]

For Accelerated Action: NZ needs an independent, non-partisan SDG Office #NZ_SDG #sustainabledevelpmentgoals

[NZ SDG Summit 19 @sdg_nz]

Individual to collective Action. We need a critical mass of like-minded people and to use inclusive and transparent language. Examples of success: Extinction Rebellion; Ihumātao; One Wanaka; Sustainable Business Network; Mindful Money #NZ_SDG #sustainabledevelopmentgoals

[Helen Clark @HelenClarkNZ]

#SustainableDevelopmentGoals & #ParisAgreement on #climate are both bold agendas & bold action is needed for their goals & targets to be met. I spoke on the challenges in realising them & my hopes for progress at @sdg_nz Summit in Auckland today. #SDGs https://t.co/7j7h6eeaR6

Words of wisdom from @HelenClarkNZ
"Dont come with a speech, come with a plan"
A totally transferrable message regardless of our mahi. ^PE

Accelerated Action delegates' focus areas:
- How to move from individual to collective action?
- How can SDGs be translated into KPIs at all levels of society?
- What genuine Education for Sustainability would look like at the preschool, school and tertiary level?

Awesome to hear @DewySacayan at @sdg_nz calling for government and business to play their part and address the climate crisis that we know is happening, and therefore have a role to act!

The Rt. Hon. @HelenClarkNZ gave a keynote address on the international context and NZ's leadership role at the #NZ_SDG Summit 2019.

"The voices of small, progressive countries like New Zealand are needed in conversations on issues like climate change," she said. ^AI #SDGs

[NZ SDG Summit 19 @sdg_nz]

@HelenClarkNZ @RusselNorman @GreenpeaceNZ @RachaelLeMes @oxfamnz @AucklandUni @KevinHague @arend_merrie @SophieHandford2 How are local communities being engaged?

Thank you @gillgreer for challenging traditional stereotypes!
" We need a new model of convergence. We need to have govt, private business, civil societies working together. We cannot afford to not." #NZ_SDG @sdg_nz

[Meridian Energy @MeridianEnergy]

Great to hear Geoff Perry, Deputy VC @AUTuni at the NZ #SDG summit say there is a growing sense of collective, collaborative and bold action needed. He says,"Society will only sustain when society collectively plant trees under which shade they will never sit'" @sdg_nz

[Rachael Le Mesurier @RachaelLeMes]

Honoured to be part of Panel at @sdg_nz with @HelenClarkNZ Jeffrey Sachs (by vid), @RusselNorman and Jaks Parisi from @CID_Online - we can do better than ‘moderately improving’ on SDG17 - we need a SDG minister in cabinet. #oxfamnz
