Subject: Official Information request - Key Solar Radiation Modification

Tena Koe Ministry of Transport

 

In February 2023 the UN published One Atmosphere: An independent expert
review on Solar Radiation Modification research and deployment
[1]https://apc01.safelinks.protection.outlo...
You will note from the report that the practice is widespread and that
images within the document resemble NZ skies from time to time.

 

In relation to this UN report in particular, or Solar Radiation
Modification research, policy or deployment as pertains to NZ domestic and
international policy, diplomatic, or legal activities, would you please
provide: (1) an explanation of how the responsibilities are managed within
the framework of NZ government institutions and responsibilities (lead
agency, terms of reference, public-private-partnerships, research
relationships); (2) the relevant New Zealand policy direction or executive
directions; (3) copies of surveillance and monitoring reports of relevant
operational activities for the most recently available 12 months; and, (4)
copies of any meeting minutes, commissioned research findings, or
contractual relations for 2022-23 in relation to this subject.

 

Should this request prove quite sizeable, I am perfectly happy to receive
the information in instalments as the information comes available.

 

Nga Mihi
