A Future Generations Act is the antithesis of the Regulatory Standards Bill. Instead of entrenching short-termism, a Future Gens Act would embed intergenerational wellbeing in public decision-making. We're so excited to be working on this, read more here: www.weall.org.nz/future-gener...

While boosting productivity is a commendable goal, we have big doubts this policy will achieve it. Despite the $34b it will cost, it will only boost GDP 1% over 20 years. #Budget2025

Today, April 30, 2025, marks Aotearoa New Zealand's Earth Overshoot Day-the date when our resource consumption surpasses what the planet can regenerate in a year if everyone lived like us. This places us three months ahead of the global average, underscoring the urgency for change.

The IMF's latest WEO report is a stark reminder of the fragile foundations of our current economic system. The IMF states the system which has 'operated for the last 80 years is being reset, ushering the world into a new era. Existing rules are challenged while new ones are yet to emerge.’ 🧵

One of the great ironies of our current economy is that we have generated a highly materialistic culture that does not seem able to actually value materials - the right to repair is a good step towards a more circular, regenerative economy. www.weall.org.nz/news/right-t...
