  • Strategic COVID-19 Public Health Advisory Group Terms of Reference
    IN CONFIDENCE Strategic COVID-19 Public Health Advisory Group Terms of Reference Context 1. Aotearoa’s COVID-19 elimination strategy has served New Zealanders well both in terms of health and economic outcomes. One of the keys to that success has been our commitment to constantly learn, adapt and look to the future. This will continue to be critical as we roll out our mass vaccination campaign and move into a new post-pandemic phase of our response. 2. As vaccine coverage increases throughout 2021 the Government will face a number of decisions regarding our border and public health settings. At the same time, we must be to ready to respond to any changes in the epidemiology of COVID-19, including the possible emergence of new variants. 3. To ensure our ongoing response is informed by the best available scientific evidence and expert advice, as the responsible Minister for COVID-19 response I am establishing the Strategic COVID-19 Public Health Advisory Group (the Group) to report to myself (via Minister Verrall) and the COVID-19 Ministerial Group on some of the challenges and opportunities we face. 4. I intend that the Group will work with the COVID-19 Independent Continuous Review, Improvement and Advice Group, especially around health protections post vaccine. The timing benefits both groups giving an opportunity to align their priorities and working approach to eliminate any duplication and cover any gaps. Purpose of the Strategic COVID-19 Public Health Advisory Group 5. The Group will provide independent advice on our ongoing COVID-19 response informed by their expertise in epidemiology, infectious diseases, public health, and modelling.

  • 2013 Academy Annual Report
    This document has been created from historical website content. 2013 Academy Annual Report The 2013 Academy Annual Report details the accomplishments of the Academy of the Royal Society of New Zealand throughout the year. Chair’s foreword As Chair of the Academy Executive Committee since July 2013, I would like to extend my thanks to Professor Richard Le Heron, who preceded me during the first 6 months of 2013, for his effort in guiding the Academy during that time. Thereafter, he supported and advised me in my role as Chair. Also over the last year the Academy Executive Committee members that sat on the Society’s Council comprising Professor Sir David Skegg (President RSNZ), Professor Richard Le Heron, Dr John Caradus, Professor Michael Corballis, Dr Stephen Goldson, Professor Keith Hunter, Professor Margaret Tennant and Professor Richard Bedford worked to enhance the profile of the Academy as the intellectual focus of Royal Society of New Zealand. An important role of the Chair of the Academy is to chair the annual Fellowship election process. The 2013 round resulted in the selection of 13 new Fellows and two new Honorary Fellows. The Fellowship at 31 December stood at 389 and Honorary Fellowship at 59. This year some modifications to the election procedure introduced on a trial basis last year were continued and the process operated very smoothly, thanks largely to excellent preparatory work done by Gill Sutherland, Senior Manager—Society Secretariat. As a result of consultation with both the Fellows and the representatives of the constituent organisations, it was suggested that the Academy should become more active in preparing RSNZ Expert Advice Papers using both Fellows and the wider communities to formulate well researched documents for public dissemination.

Ph: 3­479­7573; fax: 3­479­7583; email: [email protected] ​ 205 Wakari Rd., Helensburgh, Dunedin 9010 (Ph:03­476­3229) Wise Response Society Incorporated Submission on the NZ Climate Target and Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) rd June 3 ​ 2015 ​ Summary of Wise Response submission 1. A low carbon future offers a huge opportunity for NZ if we follow our suggested ‘Kea’ policy pathway. If we retain the view that we should only be a ‘Moa’ (the other pathway we describe), then we risk being left behind in what is likely to be a rapid global transition. 2. NZ’s mix of renewable energy resource and innovation potential means that it could potentially be a leader in some aspects of mitigation – for example, in reducing agricultural GHG emissions, geothermal energy, an electricity grid running on close to 100% renewable energy, swapping coal for wood­based industrial heat, and an electric vehicle fleet which (unlike other countries which largely rely on coal and gas­generated electricity) makes a huge amount of sense in New Zealand. 3. The shift to a low­carbon future is not simple. It involves on the one hand a change in ‘culture’ (norms, practices, technologies) amongst households and businesses, as well as changes in the broader structures such as policies and physical infrastructure to support the change.

School of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Canterbury Abstract The arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic in Aotearoa New Zealand saw New Zealanders presented with the accompanying infodemic. Aotearoa New Zealand’s experience, which is characterised by mis- and dis-information, as well as the emergence of a number of conspiracy theories, is linked to international patterns within the COVID-19 infodemic overall, but also displays significant situated and differential themes and impacts. We evaluate the prevalence of the COVID-19 infodemic in social and mainstream media February-August 2020, and analyse the narrative intent and social or political discourses of the content collated. In evaluating the nature of COVID-19 narratives over this time period, we find that there are significant changes in the types of discourses these narratives engage with, with an increasing prevalence of conspiracy narratives noted since the re-emergence of community transmission in August.
