After the pandemic, philosophy can help create a fairer future, say philosophers and humanities experts from NZ, Australia and UK. They think New Zealand should apply what we’ve learned from this crisis - to value science, connect local communities and resource Maori- and Pacific-led solutions. New tools are recommended: an intergenerational approach to protect people and the environment for the generations that follow us, and ensuring all can easily be part of the digital world.
