Thank you to @genzeronz for all your hard work leading up to the creation of the Climate Commission! 🙌If you want to share your thoughts on climate-related financial disclosures, check out our quick survey (link in bio). We would love to hear your thoughts! 🧠💭 ⁣
⁣
In October we delivered two workshops in Auckland and Wellington with @simpsongrierson to explore the Recommendations of the TCFD (the Financial Stability Board’s Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures). Gathering insights from the participants and the wider public will form part of the Institute’s submission in response to the New Zealand Government’s discussion document ‘Climate-related financial disclosures’. ⁣

“Remember that Mother Earth doesn’t need us humans. But we very definitely need Mother Earth.” 🌍💚 An important sentiment to remember from The Rt Hon Jim Bolger’s talk at our 30 October event, Revisiting Tomorrow: Navigating with Foresight. In his talk he refers to the iconic speech made by @gretathunberg at the Climate Action Summit in New York City this past September. Change is coming!

The eighth publication chosen for our 8th annual summer #PMReadingList is the McGuinness Institute’s own Revisiting Tomorrow newspaper print. 🙌 📰⏪ This publication is a retrospective look into the Commission for the Future (operational 1977–1982) and the New Zealand Planning Council (operational 1978–1991) and how they attempted to embed foresight into New Zealand public policy.

The newspaper is made up of a combination of news articles from the 1970s–1990s and McGuinness Institute work. The McGuinness Institute hopes that, by looking back at the work of previous future-thinking organisations, we can provide some insight and context for emerging initiatives such as the Infrastructure Commission and the proposed Climate Change Commission.
It reminds us of the importance of looking into the past to help understand and shape the future, and was published as part of our event ‘Revisiting Tomorrow: Navigating with Foresight’, held on 30 October this year.

The seventh book of our 8th annual summer #PMReadingList is Protest Tautohetohe: Objects of Resistance, Persistence and Defiance published by the Te Papa Press. This book provides a visual timeline of New Zealand’s long history of protest and activism; from the felling of the flag in Kororāreka, the fight for women’s rights, to the anti-nuclear movement. At a time of social unrest and uncertainty, exploring our history is key to understanding what makes us who we are today and helps us to move forward.
Ka mua, ka muri - walking backwards into the future.

The sixth book for our 8th summer #PMReadingList is the McGuinness Institute’s own KiMuaNZ: Exploring climate futures booklet - produced as part of a workshop earlier in the year. One participant said ‘ignoring climate change is Pacific genocide.’ The challenges the Pacific islands are already experiencing and will continue to face are deeply troubling, yet the ideas that came out of this project were profound. Their salient message, ‘I stand as one, I come as many’, we believe is worth sharing. @unitybookswgtn @jacindaardern @simonjbridges @winstonpetersnzfirst @jamesshawmp

The fifth book we have chosen for our 8th annual summer #PMReadingList is Where Power Stops – The Making and Unmaking of Presidents and Prime Ministers by David Runciman. The political scientist argues that although in the current political climate it appears that representative democracy may have lost its spark, it has a great capacity to self-correct. Presented in a cogent and readable style – he analyses the lessons to be learned from ten Presidents and Prime Ministers of the modern era.@unitybookswgtn @jacindaardern @simonjbridges @winstonpeters @jamespeshaw

The fourth book chosen for our 8th annual summer #PMReadingList is Mindf*ck by Chistopher Wylie (@chrisinsilico). In 2018 the Cambridge Analytica scandal broke, exposing how the consulting firm was harvesting millions of Facebook user’s personal data for political campaigns worldwide. Wylie grippingly outlines how he went from director of research to whistle-blower, and why personal data is still very much at risk. @unitybookswgtn @jacindaardern @simonjbridges @winstonpeters @jamespeshaw

The third book for our 8th annual summer #PMReadingList is #NoFly – Walking the Talk on Climate Change by Shaun Hendy (@hendysh). As a leading scientist he gave up air travel for a year, cutting his carbon footprint by 95% - On the way he learnt that while untangling yourself personally from carbon emissions isn’t easy, individual acts can inspire wider change. @unitybookswgtn @jacindaardern @simonjbridges @winstonpeters @jamespeshaw
Shaun wrote about his book earlier this week in the Guardian which you can view via the link below:

To mark the official New Zealand launch of the Climate Disclosure Standards Board and Sustainability Accounting Standards Board’s (SASB’s) recent publication ‘TCFD Good Practice Handbook’, today and tomorrow in Auckland and Wellington, with Simpson Grierson and the CDSB we’re hosting TCFD Workshops: Practical steps for implementation.
These workshops are the first of their kind in New Zealand! They are designed to explore lessons learnt for implementing the 2017 G20 Financial Stability Board’s (FSB’s) ‘Recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures’ (TCFD). We’re joined by Michael Zimonyi (the CDSB’s London-based policy and external affairs director), Minister for Climate Change Hon James Shaw and a host of other speakers to explore how the TCFD Recommendations might work in a New Zealand context.
If you’re interested in finding out more, including a full list of the speakers, see http://www.mcguinnessinstitute.org/upcoming-events.
