Invited external thinkpieces

In February 2007, the Rt Hon. Helen Clark (then Prime Minister of New Zealand) declared her aspiration that New Zealand should become truly sustainable, with the government leading by example. We therefore took the opportunity to ask her and other leaders in key sectors of the economy – business, media, Māori, NGO, education and academia – for their views on what that meant for New Zealand and, hence for us at Landcare Research. Following the financial crisis this year, we invited a contribution from Allen White, Senior Fellow, Tellus Institute Boston and Director, Corporation 20/20.

These views are complemented by the perspectives. All are significant contributors in their areas, and personally know Manaaki Whenua.
