Envirohub has unveiled plans for a Climate Action Festival set to sweep across the Western Bay of Plenty this week in a wave of green enthusiasm.

With an inspiring line-up of renowned speakers, thought-provoking webinars, captivating movies and a delectable array of locally-sourced cuisine, this festival promises to be a pivotal inspirational moment in the ongoing global and local effort to combat climate change.

From September 10-17, the spotlight on climate action will shine in a way that's full of hope and optimism – and anyone can dive in, says festival coordinator Milly McHardie.

'We believe that by bringing people together under the banner of climate action, we can create a ripple effect of positive change that extends far beyond the Bay of Plenty,” says Milly.

Waikato University will host a speakers' forum at 6pm on September 15.

Rina Te Rehina Walkler from Ngapeke Permaculture, Youth Climate Forum & FutureFit ambassador Karlia Tayllor and Laura Robichaux from Beca will share information and perspectives.

Daily webinars with Te Whatu Ora, TCC, WBOPDC, and BOPRC will address the connection between climate change, human health and wellbeing, and how to take part in building a more low-carbon, resilient future.

In Waihi and Katikati the movie ‘2040' by filmmaker Damon Gameau will screen. Damon travels the world in search of new approaches and solutions to climate change, offering an optimistic view.
