Greenhouse gas emissions
International Climate Safe Travel Institute made this Official Information request to Ministry for the Environment
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for International Climate Safe Travel Institute to read recent responses and update the status.
      From: International Climate Safe Travel Institute
      
    
    Dear Ministry for the Environment,
We seek information on the greenhouse gas emissions of your agency.
Specifically, please provide your reporting on greenhouse gas emissions of your agency:
1. In the last year of reporting under the Government's former sustainability programme (Govt3 Sustainability Programme);
2. The last reporting on greenhouse gas emissions before the Covid lockdown in March 2020;
3. Your most recent reporting on greenhouse gas emissions.
In each case, kindly include the breakdown of the activities causing the emissions. This should include separate reporting on domestic air travel and on international air travel.
To assist in your response, we note that in April 2021 the Department of Conservation was asked for its reporting on greenhouse gas emissions.
The Department's response is contained at this link on the fyi.org.nz site.
https://fyi.org.nz/request/15027-doc-car...
The Department provided a response against the Government's former sustainability programme, and also said that they were moving to the Toitū CarbonReduce Programme which would enable further detailed reporting.
4. Please also advise if your agency has joined any programme enabling detailed reporting such as the Toitū CarbonReduce Programme.
Yours faithfully,
Chris Watson & Tom Bennion
for
International Climate Safe Travel Institute
