Our work is focused on supporting people, places and sectors in regions to plan and manage their transitions.

Previously we have worked with the Taranaki region on the development of the T2050 Roadmap, driving community engagement in this process.

More recently we have worked to support a Just Transition for Southland to ensure a more resilient economic future.
