Paris Agreement?
Greenhouse gas emissions?
NZ’s reduction target?
Does any of this sound familiar to you? What does this ACTUALLY mean for Central Otago?
In return for a free drink and snacks, we want you to join our open discussion about taking action in our own backyard. Come and pick the brains of leading scientists on climate change - find out what is fact and what is media hype. Hear about the changes that will occur in Central Otago and the threats and opportunities posed by climate change.
Join us for a beer and bring along all your questions for Dr James Renwick of Victoria University, Wellington, and Dr Greg Bodeker of Bodeker Scientific, Alexandra. They will unpack the issues, discuss real solutions and offer you an opportunity to find real changes that work for you.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
