Panel | How to future proof patients' health, our practices and primary care from the effects of climate change
Saturday 27 July | 12.00pm

Of Te Āti Haunui-a-Pāpārangi descent, Dr Tinirau has genealogical connections to several hapū and iwi who have connections with and interests in the Whanganui River. He is the Director of Te Atawhai o Te Ao, an independent Māori research institute focused on health and environmental research, and Chair of the Rānana Māori Committee. Rāwiri serves on a number of governance and advisory boards, and has several interests, including Māori health, environment, community, performing arts, education, business and economic development. In his spare time, he likes to spend time in and on the Whanganui River.

At Te Atawhai o Te Ao much of the climate change mahi is led by children, so Rāwiri will be joined by Manaaki Hogg, who will share his experiences and hopes for the future.
