In this episode of The Circle We Keep, series one host Izzy Fenwick is joined by Alana Lampitt, Partner, Chapman Tripp, to explore why nature means business - and why enabling nature investment is essential to safeguarding New Zealand’s competitive advantage.

Together, Izzy and Alana unpack the new Aotearoa Circle/Chapman Tripp report, ‘Investing in New Zealand’s Natural Assets: Regulatory Actions to Unlock Nature Finance’. The report uncovers the practical legal and regulatory barriers slowing or stopping nature-positive projects across the country.

From consenting hurdles to inconsistent policy settings and high project costs, they break down what’s holding Aotearoa back -and the six actions that could unlock investment at scale.

Step into the circle with Alana Lampitt.
