"What does it take for communities to lead the renewable energy transition - not just be consulted?"

If one person is positioned well to respond to that question, it is Dr Amanda Cahill.

Goodlife Collective, Sustainability Trust and WEAll Aotearoa are proud to be co-hosting Dr Amanda Cahill, founder of The Next Economy

Don't miss this opportunity to hear Amanda's insights from her work in Australia, which demonstrate how acting on climate change can help catalyse fairer, more regenerative wellbeing economies.

Amanda has worked at the intersection of government, local councils, big companies and communities for 30 years, to support communities to transition to a thriving future.

Amanda is the Founder of The Next Economy, where she supports regional communities across Australia to manage the impacts of decarbonisation and climate change in a way that builds more equitable and regenerative economies. Most of this work has been in coal and industrial regions, where she has brought together government, industry, workers and community groups to co-design transition strategies despite deep-seated tensions. Her work draws on 30 years’ experience working with changemakers across the world to address economic and health inequalities, environmental degradation, women’s rights and climate justice.
