Invitation to Webinar: Addressing Headwinds and Taking Action

As you are already aware, our sector and forests are currently facing numerous challenges which may result in reduced investment, potential capital flight, and job losses. In light of these circumstances, the NZIF Council would like to extend an invitation to you for a webinar which aims to address these headwinds, provide updates, answer your questions, and collaborate on effective actions to be taken.

The webinar is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, 4th of July, from 7:30 PM to 8:30 PM. We highly encourage your attendance as we believe your valuable insights and active participation can contribute to the success of this event.

During the webinar, we plan to cover several important topics, including:

• Proposed ETS changes (MfE) consultation
• Proposed ETS fee changes
• CCC goals
• Policies from political parties

If there are any other specific topics which you feel should be addressed, please do not hesitate to inform us. Your input is crucial in ensuring we address the concerns and interests of our members effectively.

As a member of NZIF, your participation and unique insights play an integral role in shaping our collective voice. We encourage you to actively engage in discussions, share your expertise, and contribute to the ongoing dialogue. Through your input, we can ensure our stance accurately reflects the diverse perspectives of our membership and addresses the complexities of the challenges at hand.

In working towards a unified stance, we envision a future where NZIF members and council present a cohesive and compelling argument. By doing so hopefully we we increase our influence and foster an environment conducive to finding innovative solutions which benefit our community and beyond.

I look forward to your presence at this online event. Your engagement will play a significant role in shaping the future direction of our sector and forests. Let's join forces, share our perspectives, and work together towards overcoming these challenges.

Thank you for your attention, and we hope to see as many of you as possible at the webinar.

Best regards,

James

President
