Hopeful New Way To Measure Human Progress
In response to the climate crisis, a new way to measure how well people and nature are living together has been announced in Nature. A hopeful new way to think about human progress has been announced today in the world's leading scientific journal Nature. Rather than focusing on what we're doing wrong, the new global framework offers a way to measure how well people and nature are thriving together. Led by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and created by a group of international experts in various disciplines, the Nature Relationship Index (NRI) will track countries' progress in three key areas: a thriving and accessible natural world, responsible and respectful use of nature, and protection from pollution and harm. It builds on the success of the Human Development Index (HDI), which measures average achievements in a country in three broad categories: a long and healthy life, access to knowledge, and a decent standard of living. The University of Auckland's Peter Kraus Professor of Philosophy Krushil Watene (Te Hikutu, Ngāti Manu, Ngāti Whātua o Ōrākei, Tonga) is one of the researchers who contributed to the novel framework, bringing both a philosophical and Indigenous perspective. 'The NRI takes our relationships with nature as foundational to the way we should think about well-being, development, and justice,' she says. 'Such a philosophical shift requires our commitment to the realisation of social and environmental justice, and to fostering new concepts, practices, and institutions – both locally and globally.' Just as the HDI transformed global development thinking, Watene says researchers hope the NRI will redefine progress to include healthy human-nature relationships, not just economic growth. The Nature Relationship Index is planned to be prominently featured in the 2026 Human Development Report, with annual updates planned for all countries thereafter. Its authors, who include leading marine ecologists, psychologists, economists, environmental scientists and policy specialists, believe it represents a hopeful and inclusive approach to environmental stewardship, rooted in the belief that when people work together, humanity and nature can thrive. 'Ultimately,' says Watene, 'the NRI values and relies on the diversity in our knowledges and knowledge-making, pluralism in our diverse and distributed social practices, and solidarity, grounded in the rich and interdependent networks of stewardship that exist – and that could yet emerge – across all corners of the globe.'

Space discoveries to be shared
Stargazing dreams first kindled in childhood will soon be shared in Dunedin. American astrophysicist and former Nasa communicator Dr Michelle Thaller arrives this month as the special guest of the New Zealand International Science Festival, which opens on June 28. During a series of talks she will share nearly three decades of space discoveries, ranging from neutron stars to tantalising hints of possible life on other planets. Dr Thaller's career began with the pioneering infrared Spitzer Space Telescope at Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. "We had never had a telescope that looked at the universe quite that way before," Dr Thaller said. "It was literally a new set of eyes, we were detecting light and creating images, we just never had seen anything like it." Stars form inside vast clouds of gas and dust that block light, so it was previously impossible to see within them. By tracing heat rather than visible light, the observatory peered inside and caught the moment new solar systems formed. "It is just incredible to see these discoveries coming in, your jaw drops every time." She later served as assistant director of science, for communication, at Nasa's Goddard Space Flight Centre, a role that involved translating findings such as neutron stars, the collapsed remnants of giant stars. "They are only about 30km across, they are tiny little things but they have about the mass of two times the sun." Despite scientists studying thousands of these "monsters", it is still not fully understood how they work because there is no physics to describe such mass packed into so small a volume; ordinary atoms could not withstand those conditions. "That is so much gravity in so small a place that it actually bends space and time and when you look at a neutron star, you can see the back of it as well as the front of it because light is actually bending around." "There is so much gravity and so much mass there it is actually warping space and time so that light travels from the back side towards you as well." The discovery that had eluded her during nearly 30 years at Nasa was solid scientific evidence of life beyond Earth. "With our Mars rovers we have seen some chemical signals that could be life, but we are not sure, there is no smoking gun." There have been close calls, such as a planet about 100 light-years away observed with the new James Webb Space Telescope. "There was this tiny little signal that actually got stronger over time that we thought could be what we would call a biosignature, something that is only produced by biology." However, recent analysis has suggested it may be something else. "It was definitely an organic molecule, definitely a carbon-based molecule, the kind that is our chemistry. "But we had to sort of slow our hopes down a little bit, it wasn't quite ready yet." Festival New Zealand International Science Festival June 28 — July 6 Visit for details
