"With no new investment to combat climate change in last month’s budget, and a
long list of cuts to climate and environment-related areas, the government
risks damaging its global reputation.
The Climate Resilience for Māori initiative has been scrapped, along with
mātauranga Māori approaches to agricultural emissions reduction. There is
reduced funding for the Climate Change Commission, which advises the government
on policies to achieve legislated emissions targets.
Freshwater and native forest planting initiatives will be scaled back, along
with reduced biosecurity monitoring.
Also cut are programmes to develop a national circular economy and bioeconomy
strategy for waste reduction and the “Jobs for Nature” initiative, which was
due to run until 2026."
