What if our politics was accountable to future generations and te taiao? Tomorrow Together is a movement for intergenerational fairness launched by Wellbeing Economy Alliance, and centres on a call for a Future Generations Act (a cornerstone for long-term decision-making that puts people and planet first, and learns from te ao Māori). A Discussion Document on these proposals was unveiled in Parliament in September, hosted by the youngest MPs from across the political spectrum, with reflections from former Prime Ministers Jim Bolger and Sir Geoffrey Palmer. (You can hear Jim Bolger’s message just before his recent passing at: https://vimeo.com/1121021413).
We will have the opportunity to join in this discussion in our November Spirited Conversation with Sophie Handford, the Tomorrow Together campaign lead, and Thomas Blakie (Ngāi Tahu), an Ōtautahi Christchurch member of the rangatahi leadership crew for the campaign.
As usual, as an optional extra after the session at Aldersgate, those who are interested can join us and continue the discussion over dinner at local Thai restaurant in walking distance.
