Massey kicks off the 2024/2025 Sustainability Development Goals Summit
Massey is the lead host of the 2024/2025 Aotearoa New Zealand Sustainable Development Goals Summit. In 2025, Massey will host the two-day Summit at its Manawatū campus.
The first event leading up to the 2025 Summit took place on the Te Rau Karamu Marae on Pukeahu campus in Wellington on 6th September. Titled, How to achieve the SDGs? Let’s ask nature, the summit focused on how to improve sustainability across a myriad of sectors, from wellbeing to the economy, transport and agriculture.
This event encompassed a keynote Professor Jason Mika from Waikato University, an interactive workshop led by Massey’s Professor Huhana Smith, and a plenary panel that was followed by workshop sessions with the panel. The day ended with reflections and key takeaways; all in all, an enriching, insightful and successful event.
The Aotearoa New Zealand Sustainable Development Goals Summits were inspired by people wanting to collaborate across sectors to drive meaningful change for the SDGs. Read more about Massey’s work towards achieving the SDGs here.
