The drive for collaboration and collective support is a cornerstone of sustainability, and the guests in this episode introduce a variety of ways that partnership is being implemented at the University level, as well as at the global scale. The University’s Living Pā project is in the spotlight as a key example of what can be achieved when diverse people and ideas come together for the greater good. The discussion touches on New Zealand being uniquely positioned as a small nation where communication across disciplines is relatively easy, and where everybody can contribute to addressing our sustainability challenges.
Our host Dr Sarah-Jane O’Connor is joined by guests Senior Advisor in the office of the Deputy Vice Chancellor Māori, Rhonda Thompson (Poutini Ngāi Tahu) and the Director of Sustainability, Andrew Wilks, to discuss the importance of partnership in working towards sustainability.
