Webinar: Whakarongo ki te Taiao: Weaving Mātauranga Māori into Climate Adaptation

 NZCS Webinar Matauranga

Following on from our incredibly popular mātauranga themed webinar last year, we have another inspiring webinar incoming exploring how climate change adaptation is strengthened through the leadership and integration of mātauranga Māori.

Join Akuhata Bailey-Winiata and Ruby Mckenzie Sheat - two passionate practitioner-researchers as they share practical, community-driven approaches that blend Te Ao Māori with science to support resilience across Aotearoa’s coastal environments.

This session will showcase iwi and hapū-led adaptation initiatives, offering insights into how Te Tiriti-centric partnerships and culturally grounded frameworks can guide our response to climate challenges. Whether you're a researcher, practitioner, policymaker, or community member, this free webinar offers something for everyone—please share widely with whānau, friends, and networks!
