A catalogue record for this book is available from the National Library of New Zealand. Abstract e Puna Reo o Ngā Kākano provides a kaupapa Māori early childhood Tlearning experience where tamariki aged from under one year to six years are exposed to mātauranga Māori on a daily basis with the aim of supporting them to flourish and become culturally confident. In an urban location, whānau are challenged with fostering connections to their tūrangawaewae and maintaining their cultural identity. Through a Māori world view, the concept of health and wellbeing is commonly understood to be alignment of one’s taha wairua, taha hinengaro, taha tinana and taha whānau. The absence of cultural identity can have an adverse effect on health and wellbeing. This research, funded by the Health Research Council of New Zealand, considers the impact that Te Puna Reo o Ngā Kākano has had on the health and wellbeing of tamariki and their whānau, and it identifies aspects of the experience at Te Puna Reo o Ngā Kākano that are fundamental to facilitating health and wellbeing within a kaupapa Māori early childhood environment.

  • Mannheim 2030” Mission Statement from the 17 UN Sustainability Goals in a Large-Scale Public Participation Process
    THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE UNITED NATIONS’ SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS IN 2030 Voluntary Local Review FOREWORD Since January 2016, the United Nations (UN) 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have served as a blueprint for all nations of the UN to implement sustainable devel- opment strategies. To formulate and implement an effective sustainable development strategy in the Rhine-Neckar Metropolitan Region, Mannheim’s municipal government must take a leadership role and be decisive in this capacity. The slogan “Think global, act local” makes sense here as we must be actively responsible in our efficient alloca- tion and use of resources, especially considering the world’s social, economic, and eco- logical factors are more internationally linked than ever before. This notion emphasizes the importance of efficient budget planning, coexistence in international and diverse cities, as well as intelligent consumption of food, water, energy, and other goods. Mann- heim’s Fair-Trade Town program is an example of the city’s commitment to international relations, as it demonstrates Mannheim’s willingness to engage in fair economic interaction with other international cities and entities. Another key project is “Smart City Mannheim” which focuses on a strategy for modernizing and coordinating a variety of current and future digitalization and clean energy projects. From the medical tech- nology industry to new mobility and industry 4.0, our future and the development of Mannheim are linked by several factors that will shape the city. The City of Mannheim has developed the “Mannheim 2030” Mission Statement from the 17 UN sustainability goals in a large-scale public participation process.

  • City Planning for Health and Sustainable Development
    City planning for health and sustainable development European Sustainable Development and Health Series: 2 European Sustainable European Commission WHO Regional Office Healthy Cities Network Cities & Towns Campaign DG XI for Europe EUR/ICP/POLC 06 03 05B – European Sustainable Development and Health Series: 2 Original English. 1997. This document results from work led by the WHO Healthy Cities project as part of the European Sustainable Cities & Towns Campaign. This work received financial assistance from the European Union through the European Commission, Directorate-General for Environment, Nuclear Safety and Civil Protection (DG XI). Target 14: settings for health promotion By the year 2000, all settings of social life and activity, such as the city, school, workplace, neighbourhood and home, should provide greater opportunities for promoting health. ABSTRACT City planning for health and sustainable development is the second document in the European Sustainable Development and Health Series produced by the WHO Healthy Cities project within the European Sustainable Cities & Towns Campaign. It describes how health and sustainable development are closely related. City health plans form an important model for local Agenda 21 plans, using local health profiles and promoting community participation to achieve change at the municipal level. Examples of practice are drawn from Belfast, Bologna, Glasgow and Liverpool. The text includes 47 references and further sources of information.

Along with families and neighbourhoods, towns have been the basic elements of our societies and states. Towns have been the centres of industry, craft, trade, education and government. We understand that our present urban lifestyle, in particular our patterns of division of labour and functions, land-use, transport, industrial production, agriculture, consumption, and leisure activities, and hence our standard of living, make us essentially responsible for many environmental problems humankind is facing. This is particularly relevant as 80 percent of Europe's population live in urban areas. We have learnt that present levels of resource consumption in the industrialised countries cannot be achieved by all people currently living, much less by future generations, without destroying the natural capital. 1/7 DOW/URV Chair of Sustainable Development http://www.urv.cat/catedres/catedra_dsostenible/en_index.html We are convinced that sustainable human life on this globe cannot be achieved without sustainable local communities.

A hollow tree is left behind. iii ABSTRACT This report presents the data, analysis and results of focus group research that explored Máori knowledge, experiences and perspectives of local government in Aotearoa New Zealand. Seven focus groups were held with different groups of Máori; 18 – 24 year olds in tertiary study; 18 – 24 year olds in the workforce; people 25 years old and over residing in rural areas, and people 25 years old and over living in urban settings. The purpose of this report is to present the research findings about the knowledge and experiences of Máori in relation to local government, and in particular, their recommendations for the development of the local government sector. It is intended to assist local authorities in their efforts to improve their engagement with Máori, and stimulate further research with Máori about Máori participation in local government decision-making. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Royal Society of New Zealand is acknowledged for the funds that enabled this project to take place.
