SocCon 2011
This year's conference threw up a range of useful websites.
Issues from the Auditor-General's office
This website offers a range of issues that affect New Zealanders and the case studies apply directly to AS.
Climate Change: Realclimate contains both technical and relatively non-technical information, and has a large archive, index, etc. For daily updates of information on climate change issues (both the science and the policy), there is www.climateark.org.
Locally, there is the NZ Climate Change Research Centre at VUW (which produces an on-line update every few months), and the Climate Change Centre (based at NIWA), which brings together all the relevant CRIs and several universities. For young people in NZ, there is a new website www.generationzero.org.nz
Forestry: www.mongabay.com contains information about some of the issues surrounding forestry as a global industry.
