24. Terra Nova Earth Talks - Regenerative development and living systems with Jerome Partington

Jerome Partington, a Regenerative Development Practitioner, and Associate Principal and Sustainability Manager at Jasmax, empowers us to evolve how we think about climate change and our relationship with the environment around us. What if we looked beyond problem solving and aimed higher than settling for just sustainable solutions or outcomes?  Jerome introduces a regenerative approach where he encourages us to be pulled towards the inherent potential within any situation. If we see our businesses, communities, and ourselves as whole living systems within a larger living system we can focus on growing the potential within them. We can honour the participants in each system, their roles and their interactions.

23. Terra Nova Earth Talks - A possiblitiarian perspective with James Laughlin

Are you a “possibilitairian” or a “miniscularian”?  That’s the question that high performance leadership coach James McLaughlin posed to a room full of business leaders at the Te Ao Earth Week Summit, acknowledging the necessity of creative and innovative leadership in order to find solutions in a world of climate change. Have a watch or listen to this short video, in which James will guide you to have a possiblitiarian perspective, rather than a dooms-day perspective, around living in this era of climate change.

22. Terra Nova Earth Talks - Talking climate, economy and systems change with Shamubeel Eaqub

Ever think about how much insurance will cost in the future in the wake of climate change? Will it be affordable for all? For any? This is but one aspect that Economist Shamubeel Eaqub thinks about while considering the wider landscape of social change, political change, and regime change as we walk further into an era of climate change. Watch this video, linked here, to get a glimpse into what Shamubeel foresees into our future economic and societal reality. Learn why he asks us to really think about how we are positioned within our current policies and systems framework, if we are to effectively address the challenges of climate change and climate change caused situations.

21. Terra Nova Earth Talks. Living a time of climate change with Anake Goodall.

In this talk, Dr. Anake Goodall bravely voices his discomfort, tension, and the destabilising feelings that we all sense, and perhaps don’t talk enough about, when it comes to living a time of climate change.  A long-time investor in the green economy of New Zealand who has held various executive roles and advisory to government and iwi, Anake’s wisdom around the barriers and opportunities to change runs deep.  He speaks here to the current level of cynicism and backward thinking in politics that hinders us from real progress and pits people against one another. And he asks us to lean into the fact that the future will require us to face difficulty and have difficult conversations.  Listen into how Anake guides us to have these conversations and lean into difficult situations as part of the new frontier of finding our way towards solutions.

20. Terra Nova Earth Talks. How do we transition millions to a low carbon economy with Josh Dry Cogo

Has carbon emissions become a fatigued topic? Is it losing its emphasis with constant chatter about offsetting instead of how to reduce our warming in the first place?  We see it like this... like other times when the world has had to come together to fight for what is right, we all have contribute to this battle. Every person who is consuming and emitting carbon, methane or other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere needs to do their bit for the world.
