Cabinet papers related to climate change
To assist the wider discussions about Aotearoa New Zealand’s nationally determined contribution (NDC) set under the Paris Agreement (see the Institute’s latest discussion paper, Discussion Paper 2024/01: – Risks hiding in plain sight: Does a commitment under the Paris Agreement to purchase offshore carbon credits create a requirement to report that commitment in the financial statements of the New Zealand Government? for more detail), the Institute has collated climate-related Cabinet papers in the aim of identifying those that refer to the NDC.
Table 1 below lists the climate-related Cabinet papers dated between 2001–2024 that were made publicly available on the websites of MBIE, MFAT, MfE and MPI as at 23 May 2024. This table will become Working Paper 2025/03 – List of Climate-related Cabinet Papers dated between 2001–2024, which will include a complete methodology. Please note this list may not be completely comprehensive. The Institute has been in the process of verifying that the information in the table is accurate and exhaustive (see OIA 2024/13). The final responses to OIA 2024/13 were received on 11 November 2024.
Working Paper 2025/03 – List of Climate-related Cabinet Papers dated between 2001–2024 will contribute to an evidence base that the Institute will use to develop core assumptions that will influence and develop the narrative underpinning future ClimateChangeNZ research – namely Report 18: Climate Change Strategy for Aotearoa New Zealand. This work will also feed back into Discussion Paper 2024/01.
The Institute considers a Cabinet paper to be climate-related if it meets the following criteria. If in doubt, we have included the papers in the table below.
(i) Discusses risks, costs and/or opportunities that climate change may create.
(ii) Discusses how New Zealand might adapt to or mitigate the impacts of climate change over the long-term.
(iii) The content is forward-looking, strategic (rather than operational) and of significant scale.
If you want to learn more about the process, refer to the Section 5: Cabinet Decision-making in the 2023 Cabinet Manual.
Note to Table 1: An asterisk denotes Cabinet papers or minutes that have not yet been uploaded to their respective departments website. The Institute has been notified that work is underway to have these published online (see OIA 2024/13).
