“…The adoption of social procurement as a progressive social policy in New Zealand has the potential to address issues related to economic opportunity, the rights of vulnerable workers, and unemployment. However, it is important to consider these initiatives from a Te Tiriti perspective considering the rights and interests of Māori (Short et al 2021), and aligning climate action with justice principles.…”

This research paper interrogates the extent to which indigenous, ethnic, and racial diversity is substantively integrated into climate justice discussions with a focus on New Zealand’s climate change adaptation policies. A qualitative research design is used, employing a documentary analysis and summative content analysis to scrutinise New Zealand climate change adaptation policies and their responsiveness to indigenous, ethnic and racial diversity within the ambit of climate justice. This study aims to measure the extent to which these policies promote inclusive and equitable climate adaptation outcomes. This study makes a significant contribution to the nuanced understanding of climate justice research, particularly regarding indigenous and ethnic minority communities. The study is expected to contribute to the existing knowledge base and inform the formulation of inclusive policies that integrate the diverse perspectives of these communities into climate adaptation and policy-making processes. The research findings highlight existing gaps and emphasise the importance of incorporating indigenous, ethnic, and racial diversity into policy development and implementation. The aim is to shape climate adaptation strategies that are representative of aware of insights from various communities in contemporary cities.

Governments have developed Indigenous procurement policies (IPPs) inAustralia and other colonised countries with Indigenous populations to collaboratively close socioeconomic inequities experienced by Indigenous communities. These policies are widely used in the construction industry because of the volume of government spending on this sector and its significant social impact. However, recent research argues that Indigenous peoples' notions of social value are not reflected in IPP designs, implementation, or evaluation frameworks. To investigate this claim, this research uses a holistic Aboriginal evaluation framework called 'Ngaa-bi-nya' to investigate how IPPs promote social value creation. Using community-based participatory research principles, semi-structured interviews were held with owners and senior managers of Indigenous construction companies in Australia. Findings highlight how social value is created by IPPs when Indigenous contractors use strategic actions to improve Indigenous socioeconomic outcomes, social and cultural development, create stronger connections in the construction industry and promote self-determination. The findings provide new conceptual and operational insights into how IPPs can create social value through partnerships with Indigenous contractors. The insights can be used by buyers and builders to strengthen social value in their supply chains through new ways of collaborative working to support social value creation. They also highlight potential risks of continuing to design and assess social value without the involvement of stakeholders for whom it is intended.
