Free Resilience and Emissions Reduction Programme for not for profits

Do you want to know how to prepare your organisation and community for change? Do you want to know what you can do to better look after our planet? Join our free programme, designed to ready your not for profit for the future and deepen your positive impact.

In partnership with Rātā Foundation, the Terra Nova Earth+ Resilience and Emissions Reduction Programme has been designed to empower community organisations with the tools and know-how to take action towards creating an Earth-First future.
About the programme:
With the support of the Terra Nova team and other programme participants, you will be guided to identify how your organisation is uniquely placed to contribute to the wellbeing of people and planet and the opportunities and obstacles to creating positive change. The programme is accessible and suitable for everyone, from those just starting on the journey, to those who have steps in place but are looking to gain access to further resources. We know that every organisation’s capacity is different, so our support is available for you to utilise it when you need it until the end of 2025. This includes:

• Access to a dedicated online community where you can connect with the Terra Nova team, other Rātā grantees and specialised partners. Ask questions, find resources and share your journey.
• A series of online impact sessions to develop your knowledge and connect you with the expertise and support to build resilience and tackle change in a range of impact areas.
• Complementary access to the Cogo carbon emissions measurement tool, providing you the ability to measure your emissions impact, get advice on reduction strategies and communicate progress and results.

It begins with a 1.5 day workshop* to kick things off. By the end of the workshop, you’ll have:

• An understanding of resilience and climate change as it relates to your organisation’s context.
• Explored how to go about developing a climate/environmental policy statement and resilience plan for your organisation.
• A snapshot of your carbon footprint and access to Cogo, an easy-to-use tool to measure your progress on emissions reduction.
• Clear, actionable next steps on your resilience and climate journey and free-to-use practical tools and templates.

*Our confirmed 2025 workshops will be hosted in Christchurch, but we are gaging interest in running a workshop in Nelson/Tasman and Marlborough. If you would like to come to a workshop and join our programme, please fill in a registration form and we will be in touch.
