Join us in celebrating World Green Building Week this year from the 20th to the 24th of Hepetema/September. World Green Building Week is the world’s largest campaign to accelerate sustainable buildings for everyone, everywhere. This year's theme is #BuildingResilience, watch out for more updates on events and webinars to come!
Read our submission on the proposed long-term vision for our housing and urban development system, and the Government's plans to work with others to make it happen.
Using the Official Information Act, we uncovered a document showing that the Government's decision to enact a less ambitious policy for reducing emissions from buildings could see it lose out on millions of dollars in energy savings and averting tens of thousands of tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions
2021 Aotearoa SDG Summit, Ōtautahi
Under the theme ‘Collaboration for Systemic Change’, the 2021 SDG Summit is a two-day conference combining concurrent sessions, workshopping, activations, creativity, sector-based kōrero, a community feast-style dinner in the central city, and field trips to see the SDGs in action around Greater Christchurch. The Summit will be based from the University of Canterbury campus.
We are now proud members of the Christchurch Antarctic Network - a platform to tell Antarctic stories and share innovation with International Antarctic Programmes. We have worked with Antarctica New Zealand to build a custom Green Star tool to help create a sustainable redevelopment of Scott Base.
