Tāmaki Makaurau is facing interconnected climate, environmental and social pressures. Meeting this moment requires all of us, listening, learning, and acting together.

In May 2026, Co-Aotearoa is hosting a rare cross-sector gathering of people from across Tāmaki Makaurau - communities, mana whenua, rangatahi, business, government, researchers, advocates, funders and many others - to explore how we work together for a thriving taiao and future generations.

Over a three-day Future Search wānanga, we will weave relationships, deepen understanding, and shape pathways for collective action grounded in place, partnership and shared responsibility.

Ko Tāua Tāua - it is us, together.

This kaupapa grew out of the Auckland Climate Festival and is about strengthening the relational fabric of Tāmaki Makaurau to:

• weave pathways for collective action that support a thriving taiao

• strengthen relationships and understanding across sectors, communities, and knowledge traditions

• recognise the leadership already present

• move forward with common goals
