Maori Non-Maori

Some findings

• $37 billion is likely conservative

• Is growing fast (but, under the radar)

• Asset productivity is lower than peer non-Maori

• 1.2 million hectares of under-utilized Maori lands

• Science and technology – a key enabler

• There are barriers to Maori business accessing science and technology


Where we are?


About us

Ko wai tatou? (who are we?)

• We are a not for profit whanau and hapu community organization committed to the principles of Kaitiakitanga (guardianship and sustainability) over our lands and foreshore particularly as this may relate to development of climate change responses.

• We pride ourselves on taking a real can-do approach to everything we do and towards showing the necessary leadership to making things happen.

He aha te kaupapa? (what is our Mission?)

• To raise awareness among our whanau, hapu and Iwi around the risks and threats facing our taonga (treasures) and actively and practically take steps to safeguard and protect our treasures for our future generations.

• We will actively seek out, adopt and utilize the best practices, technologies and innovations and, strategic partnerships and alliances available anywhere in the world towards achieving our objectives. And especially those lessons learned by other indigenous people.

COMMUNITY-OWNED RENEWABLE ENERGY

Kaitiakitanga (sustainability)

Practical case study leveraging community owned assets towards a flagship marae-owned renewable energy project at Omaio in the Eastern Bay of Plenty


Our goals and non-negotiables

Our non-negotiables

• Never put our land at risk; and• Leadership remains with us


Our goals:

• Cheap power for the whanau through an energy company owned by the hapu;

• New and real jobs; and• Model project management approaches

Our key drivers• Rising cost of energy

• Disproportionate impact on Maori households

• Create new community-owned enterprise

• Create new high skilled jobs for whanau

• Owned by marae

• Pilot project towards scale up

• $NZ 500 million market (annual – national)

– Social, and

– Cultural development

• Worlds best technology and partnerships are a critical enabler of kaitiakitanga for us

• While governments procrastinate on policy, leadership can (must) start at home on the marae and engage our Rangatahi

• Kia ora to you all and particularly to Jenny Chu and Engineers Without Borders.
