Welcome to the November 2024 edition of 'The Lookout'

Kia ora koutou,

Welcome to The Lookout, bringing you a global perspective on issues that matter.

In this edition, we put In Focus sustainable trade and where New Zealand stands in global terms, an important issue with U.S. tariffs once again back on the table. 

Next, Leadership in Action features Aspen President and CEO, Dan Porterfield, reflecting on how to ignite leadership potential.

In Depth reports on the extraordinary Dunedin Study of 1032 babies since birth. In its 52nd year, with 90% still participating, the findings have had major impact on policy settings in New Zealand and so much more is yet to come.   

Coming up we’re excited to launch a new series of discussions, Sister Cities Challenges, between Aspen and Queenstown.  Join us online for the first panel discussion on 'Winter Sports and Climate Change', Tuesday 10th December.  Details at the link below.

As always, feel free to tailor the content to your needs and share it with friends and colleagues. We hope you enjoy this edition.
