New Zealand Local Government (LGNZ) 2023 Conference(Christchurch)(26‐28 July)

LGNZ 2023 Conference was held in Christchurch from 26 to 28 July.
 
The number of participants was the largest ever, with more than 750 people from all over New Zealand, including heads of local governments, councillors, and speakers. The conference featured a wide range of works undertaken by local governments in New Zealand and functioned as a place for sharing current issues such as responses to disasters associated with climate change and soaring housing prices.
 
The CLAIR Sydney staff attended sessions at the conference and grasped the trend of local government in NZ. In addition, CLAIR Sydney set up a booth to promote the Local Government Exchange & Cooperation Seminar and the forum that CLAIR Sydney will host around at the end of this Japanese fiscal year.
 
At the booth, we were able to further strengthen our network with local government officials by exchanging opinions with visitors about recent activities and sister city exchanges with local governments in Japan.

  • To investigate environmental countermeasures, a student and her chaperone from Hikone Technological High School of Shiga Prefecture visited Australia from late July to early August. CLAIR Sydney conducted a briefing on 29 July about Australia’s culture and customs, and accompanied the group to a company visit in Brisbane on 31 July, where the company, known for producing products using a type of seaweed called Asparagopsis, shared insights into their research and production processes.

    During the visit, they received information on efforts to reduce methane emissions from livestock using Asparagopsis, viewed from a carbon-neutral perspective. The student’s proactive participation in the meetings, driven by a desire to engage in environmental initiatives in the future, was impressive.

    In addition to the briefing and accompaniment, we also reached out to the company to request a representative to discuss their Asparagopsis research. CLAIR Sydney will continue to support the activities of Japanese local governments conducting research on topics related to Australia.
