Kia ora Chris,

On behalf of Hon James Shaw, I refer to your official information request dated Friday, 3 February 2023 for information related to Geoengineering.

Unfortunately, we do not hold the information you requested, and we cannot think of any other agency that would hold it, or whose functions would be more closely connected to it.

I am therefore refusing your request under section 18(g) of the Official Information Act 1982 because the information is not held.

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or Freephone 0800 802 602.

If you want to discuss this decision with us, please feel free to contact the Minister's office.

- Agency (s) Responsible - NIWA, Defence, MFE, Climate Change Commission, EPA, Institute of Environmental Science & Research, MBIE - it could be one or more of these agencies, and who knows maybe others hold information. It could also be that NGO's such as the Royal Society of NZ manage contracts on behalf of government so please provide the transparency required

Subject: Re: [OIA554] : Official Information request - Geoengineering Contracts in New Zealand or Outsourced to NGO's

Dear J Shaw (MIN),

As per my official information act request I let you know all the agencies to consult with. I understand NIWA were discussing these methods to “combat” climate change years ago and it has been confirmed that these practices are going on in NZ. Can you please do a formal transfer request to all of the agencies I mentioned in my request and ask for an update as Minister of Climate change so you can answer these questions adequately going forward.

Yours sincerely,

Chris McCashin
