Te kauawhi i ngā pūnaha o te mātauranga Māori
Embracing Māori knowledge systems
Through the eyes of mātanga Māori, thought leaders and business, we explore what mātauranga Māori means to different communities, and how we can shift our understanding of the part we all play in climate response.
Mātauranga Māori knowledge systems take many forms, guided by time, locality, observation, practise, wisdom and tikanga. From pūrākau passed down through generations to modern technology, the effects of our changing climate require both old and new indigenous-led solutions.
Nā tāu rourou, nā tāku rourou, ka ora te iwi. With your basket, and my basket, the people will flourish.
“Māori knowledge systems are based on long established principles and value systems, which prioritise balance and harmony, and thinking inter-generationally.”
He Tirohanga Māori: A Māori perspective on climate adaptation for businesses
As the planet warms and extreme weather events become more frequent and intense, climate adaptation has become increasingly critical. Mātauranga Māori (Māori knowledge systems), and cultural values held within te ao Māori, offer a framework to prepare for and adjust to climate change.
