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.
