SUMMARY:Tupua Horo Nuku - Resilience and Shared Path Project - Blessing and Opening
DESCRIPTION:Major works have wrapped up in the intertidal area\, and with this milestone met and works almost complete\, we’re now turning our focus to celebrating the completion of this significant infrastructure project.\n\nA blessing to mark completion of the shared path and seawall is set for Saturday 18 April. \nThis will be followed by a community celebration\, where we will be encouraging everyone to get out and explore the whole path on foot\, and by bike or scooter. \n\nThe event will recognise nearly four years of dedicated work from the teams onsite to deliver the shared path and seawall\, through sometimes challenging conditions\, alongside the efforts to support and enhance the local coastal environment – particularly for our native kōrora.\n\nI would especially like to acknowledge the work of Jon Kingsbury\, Rawiri Kennedy\, and Paul Hewitt to deliver this work which will protect our road and community from the impacts of sea level rise and increasingly severe storms (we saw the benefits of this investment during the recent storm) and also provide a safe and accessible shared path. Thank you also to Kylie Armstrong for leading communications and engagement for this project. There will be many more staff\, community members and stakeholders to acknowledge as part of the opening.\n\nWe’re also onto the final stages of work in Whiorau Bay\, improving access in and around Whiorau Reserve\, and the last rest area to be completed for the project (in Māhina Bay) is under construction. There is still more to do before the opening and the transport team is very busy prioritising this work. Please take this into consideration regarding any requests for this team over the next few weeks.\n\nJo Miller\, CEO\, HCC

SUMMARY:The future of food and energy - Mike Joy
DESCRIPTION:3pm Sunday 13 August\, St Ronan’s church\, Eastbourne – Koha greatly appreciated.\nAs an ecologist Mike sees the world in an interconnected systems way. This view allows for the awareness and acceptance that civilisation is facing peak everything\, and climate change is but one of a raft of existential crises that are symptoms overshoot. The crises are the manifestation of hitting planetary boundaries\, or biophysical limits to growth we were warned about in the 1970s. The burgeoning human population and levels of consumption has far exceeded the ability of the planet to sustain it long-term through. This overshoot was enabled using fossil energy\, in the case of food much of it through synthetic nitrogen\, which allowed us\, albeit temporarily to eat the past. This transition was arrogantly labelled the ‘green revolution’ and talked up as a great human achievement but\, it was one-off subsidy from the past. This legacy is\, however\, close to its end as the ‘easy energy pickings’ diminish.\nTo be able to feed the burgeoning population without fossil fuels and keep greenhouse gas emissions at a safe level will require a drastic reduction in consumption. Thus\, degrowth is inescapable our choice is whether we do it in a managed way or have it forced upon us. \n Mike Joy BSc\, MSc (1st class hons)\, PhD in Ecology is a Senior researcher at the Institute for Governance and Policy Studies at Victoria University\, Wellington.  He researches ecological modelling\, bioassessment\, environmental science\, environmental policy\, and energy futures. \nMike has published many papers in scientific journals\, many international as well as articles and op-eds for newspapers and magazines. He has authored many reports for Regional Councils and ministry for the environment and has developed several bioassessment tools and associated software. \nMike is an outspoken advocate for environmental protection in New Zealand and has received a number of awards including an Ecology in Action award from the NZ ecological Society\, an Old Blue award from Forest and Bird\, he received the Tertiary Education Union NZ Award of Excellence for Academic Freedom and contribution to Public Education\, the 2013 Charles Fleming Award for environmental work from the Royal Society of New Zealand\, in 2015 the Morgan Foundation inaugural River Voice Award and in 2017 the inaugural NZ Universities Critic and Conscience award.

SUMMARY:THIN ICE: Climate Change Made Clear - film screening
DESCRIPTION:Eastern Bays Climate Response Network & York Bay Residents Association\nINVITE YOU TO A SCREENING OF: \nTHIN ICE\nTHE INSIDE STORY OF CLIMATE SCIENCE\n(DIRECTORS’ BROADCAST CUT) \n“THE MOST ACCURATE DESCRIPTION OF THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT IN ANY DOCUMENTARY\, EVER.”\nDr. Bryan Killett. \nIn recent years climate science has come under increasing attack\, so geologist Simon Lamb took his camera to find out what is really going on. For over three years he followed\nscientists from a wide range of disciplines at work in the Arctic\, Antarctic\, Southern Ocean\, New Zealand\, Europe and the USA. They talk about their work\, their hopes and fears with a rare candour and directness. This creates an intimate portrait of the global community of researchers racing to understand our planet’s changing climate\, and provides a compelling case for rising CO2 as the main cause.\nThin Ice – the inside story of climate science – is a unique project: a film about climate science made by a scientist.\nFROM THE DIRECTORS\nDavid Sington: “THIN ICE has been a fascinating and unusual project to be involved with. Although I went on the shoot to Antarctica (what an amazing experience that was!)\, most of the material in the film was shot by Simon over a three-year period without any involvement from me. When Simon asked me if I would be willing to put all this material together\, I was at first a little skeptical\, but I soon realized that he had managed to capture something\nunique. Perhaps because they were talking to a fellow scientist\, all the contributors spoke with a relaxed confidence and candour that meant that not only did their science come across with rare clarity\, but their personalities and engagement with their work did as well. So I gathered the top-flight team that has worked with me on many of my most successful films\, especially the brilliant film editor David Fairhead and equally brilliant composer Philip\nSheppard. We quickly realized that Simon’s own journey had to be part of the story (not something that had been in his mind when he filmed!). I think the final result is probably the most scientifically informative documentary ever made about climate change. I hope it also has a subtle emotional undertow which makes it an enjoyable and ultimately rather moving film to watch.”\nSimon Lamb: “The main message of the film is that climate scientists are like any other scientists\, and they can be trusted because their quest is to understand the planet’s climate as fully and accurately as possible. …Science has given us a great gift\, the ability to look into our future and shape it. The film does not set out to tell the audience what we should do about climate change\, but rather\, what we know about it.”\nThe film chronicles my personal journey to find out directly from climate scientists why they think that our emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are changing the planet’s climate. In fact\, the film is almost entirely in the words of the scientists\, and I am really only the ‘glue’ that holds what they say together. However\, by watching the film\, you not only find out what the scientists think\, you also see for yourself the research being\ncarried out\, whether it be on the polar plateau in Antarctica\, at -40°C\, or in a storm on the Southern Ocean\, or back in the laboratory.
