Kia Ora Virginia

 

Thank you for your Official Information Act request received on 20 January
2021.

 

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?

 

We will endeavour to respond to your request as soon as possible and in
any event no later than 20 working days after the day your request was
received. If we are unable to respond to your request by then, we will
notify you of an extension to that timeframe.

 

Please note the Ministry for the Environment will release responses to
selected OIA requests on our [1]OIA responses page shortly after the
response has been sent.

 

If you have any queries, please feel free to contact us.

 

Ngâ mihi nui

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
