Izzy’s understanding of the link between a healthy environment and a healthy economy began with a conversation on Waiheke Island in 2016. Her dad, Sir Rob Fenwick, was explaining the findings of a government report on the state of New Zealand’s marine environment. The message was stark: our declining natural resources weren’t just an ecological concern - they posed a real threat to our economic prosperity.
In this preview to the first episode, Izzy sits down with her mum, Lady Jennie Fenwick, to reflect on Sir Rob’s legacy - as an environmentalist, business leader, and co-founder of The Aotearoa Circle. Together, they explore how his belief in quiet collaboration, cross-sector leadership, and practical action continues to guide New Zealand’s response to climate and nature challenges today.
