Answer

I am advised by the Ministry for Pacific Peoples (the Ministry), the budget is set on a financial‑year basis (1 July to 30 June), rather than by calendar year. As a result, it does not hold budget information for the Carbon Neutral Government Programme on a calendar‑year basis. I am further advised that the budget for the Carbon Neutral Government Programme in the 2025/26 financial year is $12,000.
