Environment Aotearoa 2019

Wrote Environment Aotearoa 2019, the Ministry for the Environment and Stats NZ’s three-yearly synthesis report. Worked with a hugely committed team to deliver a great report within statutory deadlines.

Stuff journalist Charlie Mitchell tweeted “I've written about many environmental reports, but this is the best one I've seen.”
