Kia ora,

 

This email is to acknowledge receipt of your official information request
dated 12 January 2022, for:

 

I request under the Official Information Act 1982 why the recommendation
of 'Aotearoa should focus on decarbonising its industries rather than
reducing production in a way that could increase emissions offshore' was
removed from the Commission's final advice Ināia tonu nei: a low emissions
future for Aotearoa. I also request all documents, correspondence and
emails that mention or led to this being removed.

I also request under the Act if the Commission looked at the impact that
offshoring pollution along with the purchase of carbon credits in overseas
markets would have on; total global emissions (in particular
transportation), Aotearoa's balance of trade (cash outflows/inflows), and
the impact on NZ job losses. If so please provide this research.

 

We received your request on 12 January 2022 and will endeavour to respond
to your request as soon as possible, and in any event no later than 14
February 2022.

If we are unable to respond to your request by then, we will notify you of

publish it.
