Join experts from Royal Society Te Apārangi Te Tapeke Fair Futures panel as they highlight some of the important choices New Zealanders face in determining fair futures in this country. Our renowned panellists will share their unique expertise and inspire new ideas about a fair, just, and equitable future in conversation with journalist and writer Rebecca Macfie.
Alan Bollard:
Our recent debt reduction policy has complicated consequences that are often unfair.
Jonathan Boston:
Just as humanity has failed to mitigate climate change by curbing greenhouse gas emissions, so too it runs the risk of failing to adapt efficiently and fairly to the impacts of climate change.
Andrew Erueti:
How can we address historical injustices and intergenerational inequities? The right to equality can both promote and undermine indigenous rights.
Philippa Howden-Chapman:
To adequately house all New Zealanders, we all need to accept that just as it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a country to care that everyone has a secure, warm, dry house to live in.
