New Zealand's Financial Commitment to the Paris Agreement

Virginia Crawford made this Official Information request to Ministry for the Environment

The request was successful.

From: Virginia Crawford

Dear Ministry for the Environment,

I am repeating a request I made previously, as I didn't get a satisfactory reply:

Could you please let me know the dollar value of New Zealand's financial commitment in relation to the Paris Agreement?

A recent news New Zealand website mentioned (via FIA response) that it would be $1.4 billion per annum over 10 years (commencing 2020). This was apparently going to be a contribution to other countries signed up to the agreement.

(1) Could you please confirm or clarify this?

(2) How does New Zealand plan to fund this commitment?

Previously I got sent a list of lengthy documents, from which it was impossible to get answers to the above questions.

I would be grateful therefore, if you could please review these questions and give me more meaningful replies (without sending me links, as previously).

Yours faithfully,

Virginia Crawford
