The future is now: Exploring the post-pandemic direction for Aotearoa New Zealand

We need to make collective decisions to improve the long-term prospects of all New Zealanders in a post-Covid world — but what are the most critical issues we will face, and how can we best address them? The Future is Now: Exploring the post-pandemic direction for Aotearoa New Zealand builds on previous papers from the Future is Now conversation series that examined a range of challenges in relation to our geostrategic positioning, social cohesion, mental health, the environment, the economy, and the primary production and food sectors. This report further frames the conversation around the urgently needed transformations in these and other areas, and the potential paths to achieve that.
