Dr Katherine Trebeck was the keynote speaker for the Wellbeing Economy Alliance Aotearoa's 2024 Economy for Public Good Conference in Pōneke Wellington, New Zealand.

WEAll Aotearoa and Pocketknife hosted this lunchtime webinar as part of Global Doughnut Days to learn how Doughnut Economics has been applied to places and communities across Aotearoa, and discuss new possibilities. 

WEAll Aotearoa hosted three local and international thought leaders on transformational participation. This webinar presented ideas and case studies on approaches spanning leadership, governance and philanthropy to drive participatory economics forward including sociocracy, equitable access to funding and indigenous frameworks from Te Ao Māori.

Our three guests were Maria Ngawati, IndigiShare (Aotearoa New Zealand), Alanna Irving, Gift Collective, Fundsorter, and Wellbeing Protocol (Aotearoa New Zealand) and Ted Rau, Sociocracy for All (US).

How can we redesign our current take-make-waste linear economy that is consuming the earth’s finite resources while breaching planetary boundaries? This webinar explores systemic solutions from Circular and Doughnut Economics to te ao Māori approaches that seek to reshape our economy to serve people and planet and not the other way around.

The Wellbeing Economy Alliance Aotearoa was privileged to host for this webinar visiting UK sustainability & impact investment specialist expert Martin Rich, who is in New Zealand to talk about the Future-Fit Foundation that has a vision of helping create a society which is environmentally restorative, socially just and economically inclusive.
