• WHO SHOULD ATTEND ?

    Is this conference relevant for you?

     

    This conference provides the latest knowledge and insights related to resource scarcity, near-term ecological changes, and response measures — undertaken, planned, or that could be taken — to mitigate risks, and maximize future opportunities, at business, political and social levels.

     

    The conference also provides the opportunity to network with experts, peers, and decision-makers faced with similar challenges.

    Participants will include:

    • Subject matter experts on topics related to current and future resource limits, and unfolding near-term developments, and options for mitigation, preparedness, and adaptation — including the short-term and long-term energy supply and related scenarios, various impacts of atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations, biodiversity losses, habitat health and degradation, land-use design, and economic and financial system scenarios
    • NGOs and individuals involved in generating awareness about the environmental and social impact of human activities and potential modalities
    • Government staffers and electeds responsible development and implementation of all forms of future planning
    • Businesses wanting to better anticipate and prepare for shifts in resource supplies, changing markets, and other critical factors for future planning
    • Students interested in all aspects of sustainability, economic and societal modalities, ecological limits, future planning, and sustainability advocacy
    • Media agencies and contributors that are interested to inform a broader audience about the need to mitigate, prepare for, and adapt to resource depletion and environmental changes

     

     

  • DETAILS & BENEFITS OF ATTENDING

    Background

     

    Based on well-verified scientific studies, real-world current events, and established systemic modelling, this events advocates the hypothesis that the worldwide resource reserves and supply volumes are unable to meet current or growing demand.

     

    The programme promotes an alternative systemic scenario to address the eminent resource crisis: What should be the New Zealand strategy in case the desired resource supply cannot be maintained, due to planetary boundaries, sustainability challenges, geopolitical tensions, and social implications?

     

    This systemic scenario approach proposes to enhance and vitally extend current concepts and planning for a sustainable future.

     

    While general impacts are known, specific manifestations and timelines remain uncertain. Therefore we advocate scenario-based analyses, contingency planning, and preparations compatible with multiple scenarios — it is essential to be prepared for multiple pathways that can lead us into a sustainable future, to match the many potential scenarios that could emerge.

    How you will benefit

     

    During this event, and beyond, you will learn more about the concrete evidence that underpins "beyond growth" future planning, and will be enabled to contribute to alternative systemic strategies:

    • Approaches to bring human societies into fruitful long-term compatibility with local, regional, and global ecological limits.
    • Strategies that allow societies to get familiar with alternative economic models.
    • Knowledge and approaches that allow businesses to anticipate and adapt to future challenges, and to identify sustainable resource supply and demand volumes.
    • Solutions that allow political leaders to raise and lead on these issues, reliably and responsibly,

     

    During the "Beyond Growth Aotearoa," we would like to achieve the following goals:

    • Broad awareness: of the consequences of resource depletion combined resulting from a market economy
    • Persuasion power: A group of powerful individuals and organisations united by the desire to tackle the risks of resource depletion and to accelerate the transition towards a just, resource efficient and circular economic system
