Tēnā koe Tania,

 

Please find attached a letter responding to your OIA request
(OIA219/19-O-00680), transferred to the Office of Hon James Shaw on 18
April 2019, for:

 

·       Advice to the Minister for Climate Change and the Minister for the
Environment on the range of options considered by the Government to
address greenhouse gas emissions.

·       Advice to the Minister for Climate Change and Minister for the
Environment on how failure to address the adverse effects of climate
change may specifically impact Māori and how measures to address climate
change may specifically impact Māori.

·       Engagement with Māori conducted by the Ministry and/or Minister on
the Zero Carbon Bill and New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme (NZ ETS)
review consultation between April 2018 and March 2019, including
engagement plans and hui minutes.

 

As per the voice message I left on your phone a couple of weeks ago and my
email last week, we are releasing these documents to you in two batches,
due to the large amount of documents in scope.

 

The first batch of documents can be accessed through Databox (the file was
too large to email):
[1]https://databox.datacomcloud.co.nz/auth/...
We have set you up with access to Databox, so you should be able to access
it okay. Email or call me if you have any trouble.

 

I would also like to discuss our approach to releasing the second batch of
documents. Could you please give me a call on the number below to discuss
this?

 

Ngā mihi,

Rachel

Kia ora Nicole,

 

Good to talk on the phone earlier about Tania’s OIA request.

 

We have set you up with access to this folder, so you can access the first
batch of documents:
[1]https://databox.datacomcloud.co.nz/share...

 

You’ll be prompted to create a password, and I think you can either create
one yourself, or one will be auto-generated. Let me know if you have any
trouble with this.

 

Thanks

Due to the number and size of the documents in scope, we are releasing the

batches). In line with the previous batches, we will also provide Nicole
Smith access to the Databox at the same time. You should both receive an
automated email with the link for access the material shortly. Please do
get in touch with me by email or phone if you have any trouble accessing
the files.

Tēnā koe Tania,

 

Please find attached a follow up letter, sent on behalf of Hon. James
Shaw, in relation to your below OIA request.

 

Since we provided you with the third final tranche of documents relating
to this OIA request last year, MfE officials have identified three further
documents in scope of your request. These are outlined in the attached
letter. I apologise that these were not included in the original batch of
material released. Two out of the three documents are already publicly
available so we have provided you with website links for these documents.
The third document is being released to you today in the attached letter.
This letter has also been added to the online Databox we previously set up
for you.

 

Please do get in touch if you have any trouble accessing these documents.

 

Many thanks

Kate
