30413 (2023). Hon Dr Megan Woods to the Minister of Climate Change: Does he agree with Dr Rod Carr who said: "Charting a path forward on adaptation is an important part of Aotearoa New Zealand’s climate response. However, decisions about adapting to climate change must also consider how to reduce emissions," and if so, how, if at all, is the Government's approach to climate adaption supporting emissions reduction?

Hon Simon Watts: The government is committed to producing an adaptation framework. Further announcements on the shape of this will be made in due course.
