Cabinet papers related to climate change
To assist the wider discussions about Aotearoa New Zealand’s nationally determined contribution (NDC) set under the Paris Agreement (see the Institute’s latest discussion paper, Discussion Paper 2024/01, for more detail), the Institute has collated climate-related Cabinet papers in the aim of identifying those that refer to the NDC.
Table 1 below lists the climate-related Cabinet papers dated between 2001–2024 that were made publicly available on the websites of MBIE, MFAT, MfE and MPI. This table will become Working Paper 2024/12 – List of Climate-related Cabinet Papers dated between 2001–2024, which will include a complete methodology. Please note this list is not currently comprehensive. The Institute is in the process of verifying that the information in the table is accurate and exhaustive (see OIA 2024/13).
Working Paper 2024/12 – List of Climate-related Cabinet Papers dated between 2001–2024 will contribute to an evidence base that the Institute will use to develop core assumptions that will influence and develop the narrative underpinning future ClimateChangeNZ research – namely Report 18: Climate Change Strategy for Aotearoa New Zealand. This work will also feed back into Discussion Paper 2024/01.
Note to Table 1: An asterisk denotes outstanding information that is to be confirmed or provided by departments as a follow on to their initial responses from OIA 2024/13.
