The role of Māori in the transition

As part of this process we want to have a have a meaningful conversation with Māori, so we understand tangata whenua perspectives and aspirations as we draft this plan. We will be updating our webpage with resources which provide an overview of what the emissions reduction plan is and what it means for Māori, what an equitable transition will look like, how our plans relate to emissions budgets, and a schedule for our live online sessions.

Background

The Climate Change Response Act 2002 requires the Government to produce plans setting out policies and strategies to meet emissions budgets and make progress towards our 2050 emissions reduction targets. The first emissions reduction plan is due by the end of May 2022 and is being coordinated across central government agencies by Te Manatū Mō Te Taiao – the Ministry for the Environment.
