List MP · NZ First · Minister of Foreign Affairs

Answer

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade has budgeted for, and forecasts expenditure of, approximately NZ$165,650 in relation ot the carbon neutral government programme in the 2026/27 financial year. Antarctica New Zealand has budgeted NZ$28,851 for the programme in 2026/27. The Asia New Zealand Foundation is not a mandated participant in the Carbon Neutral Government Programme and has therefore not budgeted for programme-related expenditure.
