The cost of living is hitting Kiwis hard, with new data showing Aucklanders are more likely to be worse off. More than a third of New Zealanders have a savings balance of less than $500, according to new data from Westpac. Westpac's Financial Wellbeing programme manager, Warren Ngan Woo, says Auckland is a big city where things cost more, which eats into people's ability to save money. "This is just a snapshot in relation to savings, but it certainly doesn't take into account what other people have in options with their savings."

In this episode of CleanTalk, we sit down with Randall "Tiny" Smith, a former Royal Air Force senior engineering officer turned EV and renewable energy executive.Randall's journey spans military aviation, leading 250-person engineering teams, becoming Programme Manager for the revolutionary Jaguar I-PACE, and building EV charging infrastructure across the UK retailer network at Jaguar Land Rover.We explore:- Leadership under pressure and the “Three Ts” framework (Trust, Transparency, Tailoring)- What it really took to bring a premium OEM EV from concept to production- Why EV misinformation spreads, and how narrative shapes adoption- The hydrogen debate: physics vs optimism- Government intervention, behaviour change, and the psychology of resistance- How curiosity, depth of knowledge, and platform-building intersect- Rather than framing this as advocacy, the conversation examines the structural tension between technological innovation, public perception, and political cycles, and what it means for anyone operating in the energy transition.If you work in renewable energy, transport, policy or clean tech communications, this episode aims to help you better understand the human dynamics affecting electric vehicle adoption.Enjoy! __________________ Connect with Randal on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/evchargingsolutions/Join the CleanTalk community on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/12991627/ ____________________ CleanTalk is produced by Harmer Visuals, a film & media company specialising in brand & case study storytelling for organisations across the renewable energy and clean technology sector.

Dr Kamar Ameen-Ali narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher. In this blog, Kam revisits a theme she first explored three years ago: the difference between supervision and mentorship in academia. Drawing on her journey to becoming a primary PhD supervisor, she explores structural barriers facing early career researchers, the funding realities that delay independence, and the risk of blurring mentoring with supervision. She argues that these are distinct roles requiring different skills and boundaries, and that separating them can better protect students and support openness, development, and academic progression.

A comparison of early stage state supports for the indigenous tech sector in Ireland and Northern Ireland' with Minister Jack Chambers The Minister for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Services, Reform and Digitalisation, Jack Chambers today launched a new report, 'A comparison of early stage state supports for the indigenous tech sector in Ireland and Northern Ireland' which was conducted by Scale Ireland and QUBIS, and commissioned by InterTradeIreland. Supporting the Irish tech sector The report, which was conducted over the last year, provides an in-depth and comprehensive comparative analysis of the state financial supports available for supporting early stage tech start-ups in Ireland and Northern Ireland. It also contains several proposals on enhancing collaboration between Ireland and Northern Ireland and their indigenous tech ecosystems. Some of the Key Proposals To further support the development of a more integrated all-island ecosystem, the state agencies should initiate a forum with stakeholders from Ireland and Northern Ireland on an annual or twice yearly basis. A joint funding initiative for companies in Ireland and Northern Ireland under the Shared Island initiative should also be explored. A Department for the Economy-led study could consider exploring joint funding mechanisms, such as a cross-border tech seed fund that leverages incentives to stimulate investment in high-growth sectors, strengthen regional economic clusters, and support sustainable, knowledge-driven business growth across Northern Ireland and Ireland. Launch and fund an initiative to gather more specific data to assess the state and impact of both indigenous tech ecosystems and how they compare and interact. The Programme for Government in Ireland contains a commitment to commission a statistical series of comparative data. The all-island ecosystem might be a suitable subject for consideration in this regard, potentially providing the basis for this further study The CEO of Scale Ireland, Martina Fitzgerald said 'This report presents a strong vision for enhanced collaboration between the indigenous tech sectors in Ireland and Northern Ireland. It is very clear there are opportunities for further joint funding initiatives and data collection and this can be progressed by the setting up of a Stakeholder Forum bringing together key agencies and organisations'. The Chair of Scale Ireland,Brian Caulfieldsaid 'This report provides valuable, in-depth insights into early stage state supports and funding in Ireland and Northern Ireland. It highlights shared challenges and opportunities in relation to funding. It will be of great value to founders and will, hopefully, encourage increased policy coordination'. Rachael Corridan, Programme Manager, InterTradeIreland said 'The Comparison of Early-Stage State Supports for the Indigenous Tech Sector in Ireland and Northern Ireland report highlights the importance of cross-border collaboration in addressing shared challenges and unlocking growth opportunities. InterTradeIreland is proud to support this project, and the work of Scale Ireland and QUBIS through our Synergy programme'. Prof Brian McCaul, CEO, Qubis, "This report highlights how Ireland and Northern Ireland have complementary tech ecosystems with real potential to achieve more through closer collaboration. By strengthening all-island cooperation we can improve access to funding, talent and international markets and build a more competitive innovation ecosystem" Scale Ireland is the independent not-for-profit representative organisation for Irish tech start-up and scaling companies. Founded in late 2019, Scale Ireland has over 820 members of all stages, sizes and sectors in the tech start-up community. Its key mission is to make Ireland a leading location for innovation and entrepreneurship. Scale Ireland is now the largest representative organisation for the indigenous tech sector.

Title: Episode 81: What Is Next in FSC Chain of Custody? A Glimpse Into the Revision Process (Episode 1 of 2) Author(s): Worm, Loa Dalgaard Description: In this episode of Forest for the Future, we explore one of the most significant ongoing developments in the FSC system: the full revision of the FSC Chain of Custody standard. This framework ensures that materials carrying the FSC label are tracked responsibly through every step of the supply chain, and the current revision may introduce some of the most meaningful updates in more than a decade. Host Loa Worm is joined by César Gonçalves, Programme Manager for Controlled Wood and Chain of Custody at FSC and lead on the revision process, and Emily White, Policy Manager for the same area focusing especially on social requirements. Together they unpack why FSC is revising the standard now, how topics for revision are selected, and which of the proposed changes may have the biggest impact on companies, auditors and the system as a whole. The conversation explores topics including simplification of the system, increased use of risk-based approaches, the potential merging of several standards into one, expanded flexibility for multi-site and group certification, updates to the treatment of pre-consumer materials, and a strengthened approach to workers' rights. Emily provides a deep dive into the evolution of the social requirements, why further alignment with global labour expectations is needed, and how FSC aims to balance ambition with practicality for companies. The episode also guides listeners through the current public consultation: how to participate, what to expect from the process, and how stakeholder input directly shapes the next iteration of the standard. If you would like to participate in the consultation, find out more here: https://connect.fsc.org/chain-custody-certification/revision-chain-custody-standards This is the first of two episodes on the Chain of Custody revision. In the next episode, we turn to reclaimed materials and FSC's work to support circular business models with high innovation potential.

A rise in bulk buying may be contributing to New Zealand's food waste. A report commissioned by the Ministry for the Environment reveals more than 1.2 million tonnes of food is wasted or thrown away here every year. Nearly a third is by households, with processing and food production making up the rest. Love Food Hate Waste Programme Manager Sophie Wolland told Ryan Bridge buying in bulk isn't always the best idea. She says if there's no plan in place for the food, it can likely go off and end up in the bin. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

More than 70 student entrepreneurs from nine Irish universities gathered at Munster Technological University (MTU) Bishopstown Campus on Thursday, 21st August to showcase innovative businesses developed during the prestigious Student Inc. 2025 summer programme. The 13-week immersive entrepreneurship programme, now in its 12th year, is led by MTU and backed both internationally and by the Higher Education Authority (HEA) and equips students with the skills, funding, and mentorship to transform their ideas into viable businesses. Students received €4,000 in seed funding, intensive training, and the opportunity to work in campus incubators, alongside established entrepreneurs. A hybrid delivery model enabled nationwide participation with students benefiting from world-class mentorship online, while still being connected to their home campuses. In addition to MTU, this year's group included students from Atlantic Technological University (ATU), South East Technological University (SETU), Technological University of the Shannon (TUS), University College Cork (UCC), University of Limerick (UL), Mary Immaculate College (MIC), Dundalk Institute of Technology (DKIT), and Dún Laoghaire Institute of Art, Design and Technology (IADT). The programme culminated in a final Showcase with over 200 attendees, where each student was given the opportunity to present their businesses to judges, trainers, mentors, industry professionals, investors, and peers. The range of businesses showcased was diverse and spread across a variety of sectors, including the Creative sector, Biomedical devices, career development apps, AI-assisted customer service platforms, food products, films, and games, to mention a few. At the showcase, awards were given for Best Poster and Best Pitch, which included: Sam McGrath from SETU for his business, Draft Drinks Beverage Dispenser; Natasha Myers from MTU for her board game BrightSparks; and Ali Zeeshan from TUS for his business, which is a sustained release drug for methane mitigation.

In a city increasingly defined by data, design, and digital connectivity, a new pilot project is giving some of its youngest residents a powerful tool for change - Minecraft. As part of the Smart Docklands Pilot Call 2024 projects, Craft My Street addresses the topic of community development by delivering workshops to schools in Dublin. A total of 139 students participated and 54 ideas were designed in Minecraft. This initiative was created by researchers from University College Dublin that uses gaming to amplify youth voices in city-making. Blending open-source geospatial data with interactive multiplayer crowd mapping, this project enables young people to propose real-world urban interventions, all while building their ideas block by block in a virtual version of Dublin's Docklands. The initiative is part of a broader effort by Smart Docklands, an innovation programme established by Dublin City Council and CONNECT, the Research Ireland Centre headquartered at Trinity College Dublin. In 2024, the programme launched a €50,000 open call to fund pilots across four urgent themes identified through public engagement: environmental monitoring; urban greening; antisocial behaviour/safety; and community development. Craft My Street was selected for its focus on the latter and its potential to reimagine what participation looks like in the digital age. "Craft My Street shows what happens when researchers meet young people where they are - in games, in classrooms, in their communities - and hand them the tools to shape the future. It's not just about Minecraft; it's about empowering the next generation to imagine and build a better city," said Trinity's Prof. Dan Kilper, Director of the CONNECT Centre. "Young people are rarely included in decisions that affect the communities they live in," said Ítalo Sousa de Sena, Assistant Professor in Digital Landscape Design at UCD and the project's lead. "The Smart Docklands Pilot Programme was a great opportunity to further develop the Craft My Street project and validate its impacts. The network of participation and expertise in engagement from the Smart Docklands team was essential to achieve the goals of the project. The funding was crucial to guarantee that all students could have the same experience with the project, by securing devices and the game for all participants, as well as to continue promoting the playful crowd mapping of Dublin in Minecraft!" Through Mapathons, classroom-based workshops, and access to a public Minecraft server, participating students imagined new public spaces, proposed green solutions, and mapped safety and accessibility issues. The virtual environments reflected real data and spatial realities - but the creativity was all theirs. Reflecting on the programme's impact, Lord Mayor of Dublin, Emma Blain, said: "Young people are an important part of shaping the future of the city, and it's essential to involve them in the conversation. The Craft My Street project as part of the Smart Docklands Pilot Call 2024 projects is a fantastic example of how technology can make youth participation in decision-making more engaging and inclusive." "By reshaping their surroundings in a virtual Dublin through Minecraft, students created solutions in a fun and meaningful way. I'm delighted to support this initiative and to see the creativity and vision of young people come to life. I was particularly flattered to see my own avatar be brought to life." Karolina Anielska, Programme Manager at Smart Docklands, said: "Craft My Street proved that serious topics like city planning can be fun and engaging, especially when young people lead the way. Through Minecraft, they shared creative ideas for Dublin's future and reminded us that play can be powerful. Their energy doesn't just shape the city - it encourages adults to get involved too. This is just the beginning." While the outcomes are playful, the project is underpinned by serious intent. It supports the National Framework for Chi...

Protein is everywhere right now — added to yoghurts, cereals, snack bars and even water. But why has it taken centre stage in the wellness world, and how much do we actually need? In this episode of The Extra Scoop, we're joined by Dr. Chris Cashin, a Registered Dietitian and Sports Nutritionist with over 25 years of experience, to help us make sense of the protein boom. From health claims to beauty industry promises, she breaks down what's fact, what's hype, and what really matters when it comes to your protein intake. We look at why protein is essential, how to tell if you're getting enough, whether plant-based options measure up, and why there's more to nutrition than just chasing numbers on a label. Whether you're perimenopausal, training for a marathon, or simply trying to eat well, this episode gives you the clarity and confidence to navigate protein without the overwhelm. In This Episode, We Cover: Why protein is important and what it actually does for the body The truth behind daily targets — and whether 30g per meal is really necessary The rise of “proteinification” and how diet culture fuels the hype How protein became associated with aesthetics and the ideal body image The difference between complete and incomplete proteins Whether plant-based proteins are just as effective as animal-based sources The real risks (if any) of eating too much protein 3 simple, evidence-based takeaways to help you get what you need — without overthinking it About the Guest:Dr Chris Cashin is a Registered Dietitian, Registered Nutritionist, and Sports Nutritionist with over 25 years of experience. She's the founder of Cardiff Nutrition Consultancy, has worked with elite athletes at the English Institute of Sport and Sport Wales, and is a Senior Lecturer and Programme Manager for the MSc in Sport and Exercise Nutrition at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David.

By Adam Turteltaub Business transformations can be times both of risk and opportunity for compliance programs. Employees, struggling to understand the changes around them and feeling stressed, may opt to do the wrong or at least ill-advised things. By the same token, transformations provide an opportunity for compliance teams to change their roles within the organization and redefine the value that they bring. Jill Swain, Global Ethics Manager and Dawn Wood, Engagement, Training and Programme Manager at Rolls-Royce went through a major business transformation and will be sharing their insights from that experience in a session at the 2025 SCCE European Compliance & Ethics Institute. In this podcast they share an abbreviated version of the journey and lessons taken from it. Rolls-Royce, as it transformed itself, wanted employees to understand that ethics and compliance are a part of “winning right” and helping the companies achieve its goals. The compliance teams met the challenge by embarking on several initiatives, both broad and narrow. They: Conducted a Win Right Week Identified the need for ensuring that conflicts of interest were reviewed when reporting lines changed Helped employees understand common dilemmas and how to resolve them Became an integral part of the employee hub to make it easier to access information and ask questions Rolled out a new third party risk management platform In sum, it was a transformation both of the organization and the compliance program within it. Listen in to learn more about what they did and learned through a period of corporate transformation.  Then, join them at the 2025 SCCE European Compliance & Ethics Institute.

The relationship between business and sustainability is evolving. As awareness of its importance – and value – grows, so does the recognition that responsibility for addressing the subject is not confined to specific sustainability roles. Indeed, growing opinion is that every job within an organization can and should be considered a sustainability job. In this episode, EY Americas Climate Change and Sustainability Services Leader Bruno Sarda sits down with Pia Heidenmark Cook, a former Chief Sustainability Officer at IKEA and now senior board member, speaker and sustainability advisor, and Lisen Wiren, Programme Manager at IKEA Social Entrepreneurship, to discuss the very idea that every professional within any business can make an impact.  Pia and Lisen have just published a book “Embedding Sustainability - How to Drive Organizational Transformation,” based on decades of their experience. Listen to this insightful conversation where two seasoned sustainability professionals talk about the importance of threading sustainability into the basis of every organization, as well as on how typically small corporate sustainability departments can make a big difference. © 2025 Ernst & Young LLP
