Please share and recommend resources here that are of interest to the whole Forum.
Share materials that enable us to fulfill our purpose of weaving individuals, households, civil society organisations, businesses, councils and iwi together around urgent, strategic action on climate change in the Nelson-Tasman region.
These may include both resources created by NTCF participants and also external material. They may be works of art, books, papers, videos, podcasts, webinars, weblinks etc.
Resources that are primarily of interest at the group level should be posted in the Project Documents of the relevant group.
When you share a resource here, please make your write-up interesting and relevant to audiences beyond our NTCF membership. This is important because the resources posted here appear in a feed on the public front page of our website.
Please choose a category (NTCF-Core, NTCF-General or External) and use tags when you add a new resource. Choose the EXTERNAL category for any resource that was not created by members of the Forum.
If you have created the resource please use the Author Bio field so that your name and profile image appear with it. If you're recommending a resource, consider identifying yourself in in the text of the post.
If your resource involves uploading a file, please be aware that the size limit is 7mb. File storage for this site is not free, and Ning imposes a file size limit to help us stay within our storage quota. A positive aspect of the limit is that it reminds us to be mindful of our digital carbon footprint.
