Climate Commons: Film screening and panel discussion

11 June 2026 - 11 June 2026

6–8 pm

Region(s): Wellington

Type(s): experiences, presentations

What can we actually do about climate change here in Aotearoa, in real, practical ways?

Climate Commons is more than a film. It is a call to action, grounded in community, lived experience, and a Māori perspective of kaitiakitanga – caring for the land, waters, and our future generations.

Join this special screening of this Aotearoa New Zealand documentary, followed by a panel discussion with the film’s director Sija Soman, climate scientists, indegenous advocates and other climate change experts.

About the film (60 min)

Set in Aotearoa, Climate Commons follows real stories of climate action and adaptation happening in our communities. It brings together the voices of Indigenous leadership, climate scientists, educators, local government, and community groups working on practical, real-world solutions.

Through the journey of a determined mother documenting these efforts, the film highlights both the solutions and the people behind them – showing that change is already happening, and that even more is possible when we act together.

Join the Climate Commons Movement

The Climate Commons Movement is a nationwide collective dedicated to tackling the climate crisis through knowledge sharing, practical action, and partnerships. With a strong focus on scientific research, indigenous wisdom, and practical solutions, the movement inspires individuals, communities, and governments to work together to protect our shared resources and build a climate-resilient Aotearoa.

Location: two/fiftyseven - beautiful coworking, Level 2/57 Willis Street, Te Aro, Wellington
