Answer

I am advised the 2026 calendar year budget for Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade Carbon Neutral Government Programme activities is approximately NZ$152,000, which will cover part of the salary of a staff member, 0.1 FTE contractor, audit and verification services, and software licensing fees. Antarctica New Zealand has budgeted NZ$24,731 for Toitu membership, Carbon reduce audit fee and an FTE allocation.
