Brighton Observatory of Environment and Economics

BOEE is a new interdisciplinary science-based charity located in New Brighton. We began operations in 2020 and facilitate adaptation to the effects of climate change for communities, businesses, and government: and form a nexus where they meet. Our projects identify and engage process-critical barriers, (jigsaw pieces) that if not resolved will become barriers to realistic economic, compassionate, and environmental adaptation pathways. These jigsaw pieces are too small for government, but too large for individual communities/businesses.

In summary we exist to expedite adaptation in the NZ economy to reduce the period and extent of economic, social and environmental damage and disorder of our adaptation journey. We achieve this by facilitating education and communication with and between Communities, Businesses and Government(s), providing leadership, undertaking research and reporting the results.
