We can do better for kids in cities! #robinkearns #winterlectures @AucklandUni
Children’s 3rd places they occupy (not home or school) - they improvise & invent... #robinkearns @AucklandUni #winterlectures
Kids in the city research findings #RobinKearns - don’t like noisy traffic, cars, etc #winterlectures @AucklandUni
Need to embed walking/cycling as the norm for life - rather than driving. #winterlectures @AucklandUni
Places are so much more than locations - belonging & our place in the world are critical #RobinKearns @AucklandUni #winterlectures
How can we improve outcomes for children in cities - adults forget what it’s like to be a child when designing #RobinKearns @AucklandUni #winterlectures
There’s hope for a flourishing & healthy transport in NZ - some changes needed @alexkmacmillan #winterlectures @AucklandUni
Biking infrastructure construction costs in Akl vastly outweighed by the benefits @alexkmacmillan #winterlectures @AucklandUni
Shared values for Healthy Streets - Environmental sustainability underpins the whole thing @alexkmacmillan #winterlectures @AucklandUni
Vicious cycle of car dependence on social inequities @alexkmacmillan #winterlectures #sustainability @AucklandUni
In the last #winterlectures @AucklandUni @alexkmacmillan tells us about healthy transport #Sustainability
Chemists don’t usually focus on matter outflows ie. waste - because there’s no money in it! #collins #winterlectures @AucklandUni
This is the challenge to sustainability - need health, environmental & fairness performance #collins #winterlectures @AucklandUni
Hearing about green chemistry during the @AucklandUni #winterlectures - if humans lived 300 years, then we would care about long term issues like climate change. But long term issues don’t seem to affect us personally...
A positive end from Gillian Lewis - a bottom-up approach to improving water quality is happening now! #winterlectures #ourrivers2030 @AucklandUni
What will happen with land use in NZ’s future? Fertiliser still on the increase Gillian Lewis #winterlectures #ourrivers2030 @AucklandUni
What’s the state of NZ’s rivers? Gillian Lewis @AucklandUni tells us of the bleak picture #winterlectures #ourrivers2030
We shouldn’t take our eye of the ball in terms of water allocation & ownership says Marama Muru-Lanning #winterlectures @AucklandUni
All of these terms mean river - each Maori group have their own relationships & understandings of rivers #muru-Lanning #winterlectures #ourrivers2030 @AucklandUni
‘We want our future generations to be able to do the things at the river that we did when we were young’ Marama Muru-Lanning #winterlectures #ourrivers2030 #turangawaewae @AucklandUni
Marama Muru-Lanning @AucklandUni brings to light the concept of ‘Te Mana o Te Wai’ from the National freshwater policy statement - what things about rivers are important & of value to different people & different Maori groups #winterlectures #taniwha
What’s @LoraxCate take on the #billiontrees programme? Great opportunity- but some strategic thinking needed @ScienceUoA #winterlectures
If loads of eucalypts are planted as part of #billiontrees programme, then likely to be less water in rivers & soil - eucalypts use lots of water! @LoraxCate @ScienceUoA #winterlectures
Many more exotic species have been planted so far in #billiontrees programme - do we want to emphasise biodiversity or carbon storage? @LoraxCate #winterlectures @ScienceUoA
A big fan of trees declares @LoraxCate - but not all trees are the same! #winterlectures
The billion tree programme - this is the list of benefits on @MPI_NZ website. But will be trade offs- @LoraxCate discusses & critiques #winterlectures @ScienceUoA
Predictions from @IsldJames on what the state of predator management would look like by 2030 @ScienceUoA #winterlectures
NZ govt goals for 2025 to achieve #predatorfreenz 2050 @IsldJames @ScienceUoA #winterlectures
How are we going in NZ in terms of predator control? @IsldJames @ScienceUoA #winterlectures
