It’s election year in Aotearoa New Zealand. Political parties are manoeuvring to get voters’ attention with promises of policies that will make a difference to their lives. But what would it take to create a healthy nation that is equitable and sustainable?

This webinar examines which policy choices could best support a healthy, equitable and sustainable Aotearoa NZ. Experts in Māori health and equity, environmental and climate-related health, and income and welfare will outline evidence on where approaches fall short and which actions could improve long-term wellbeing.

Moderated by RNZ senior journalist Katie Kenny, our guest speakers will bring us 2-3 areas of policy change that could make a difference to the health and wellbeing of our communities. Their talks will be followed by a panelist discussion.
