Welcome to the June edition of 'The Lookout'

Welcome to  The June Lookout bringing you a global perspective on issues that matter. In this edition, we put in focus the 'long term engagement of equals', in an interview with Sir Don McKinnon, our chair and New Zealand's longest serving Foreign Minister, on building a meaningful relationship with our neighbours in the South Pacific, our home region.

Followed by Leadership in action on rebalancing the short-term/long-term focus of the corporate sector to bring a wider view to the role of business, plus the new Aspen magazine, 'One Health, One Planet', on the latest on the intersection of infectious diseases and climate change.

If you have not had a chance to watch our conversation with Aspen Kyiv on Ukraine's Defence of Freedom, and would like an in-depth understanding of the war and the global implications, listen to the new podcast, #UkrainianDialogues, featuring a condensed version with each partner in the Aspen Institute network.

Our next seminar Inter-generational Challenges addresses the fleeting aspects of how our decisions affect the very young and future generations.  We encourage you to participate in this important conversation.  Registration is below.

Lastly, we invite you to join Te Kākano, our supporter's programme which provides an opportunity to be part of a community that is deeply engaged with the ideas and issues that drive the work of the Institute here in New Zealand.  Join us!
