The Aotearoa Circle, Chapman Tripp’s Community Partner, has launched The Circle We Keep, a new podcast series exploring how Aotearoa can restore its natural capital while strengthening the resilience of our economy.
The series features leaders and changemakers sharing insights, practical actions, and honest reflections on New Zealand’s environmental and economic future.
Our Environment & Planning expert, Partner Alana Lampitt features in Episode 4, to discusses why enabling greater investment in nature is essential to safeguarding New Zealand’s competitive advantage.
Together with host Izzy Fenwick, Alana examines the Chapman Tripp’s recent study, commissioned by The Aotearoa Circle, ‘Investing in New Zealand’s Natural Assets: Regulatory Actions to Unlock Nature Finance’. The report uncovers the practical legal and regulatory barriers that are slowing or stopping nature-positive projects across the country. From consenting hurdles to inconsistent policy settings and high project costs, they break down what’s holding Aotearoa back, and highlight the six actions that could unlock investment at scale.
Drawing on Chapman Tripp’s earlier legal opinion on nature-related risks for directors, Alana explains why nature has become a core business and fiduciary issue, and how global shifts in disclosure regimes are reshaping expectations for New Zealand companies.
