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,
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?
Yours faithfully,
Virginia Crawford
