Organisers of the sold-out symposium have now made the recordings of expert briefings, along with transcripts and key points, freely available online, with the aim of shifting the national conversation towards the interconnected challenges that will shape our country’s future. Organisers say the recordings and supporting material provide a valuable public resource, enabling New Zealanders to engage with the evidence long after the symposium itself. With the November 2026 election approaching, organisers believe the recordings provide an opportunity for voters, journalists, policymakers and community leaders to engage with evidence that is often missing from political discussion. Organisers say they hope the recordings will be widely shared through workplaces, universities, schools, community organisations and professional networks to help build awareness across society. “The lead up to the election provides an opportunity to have a more informed conversation about the realities we face and the choices ahead.”
