We commissioned research on what New Zealanders think about climate change, water and waste. This information is important as we want to focus on issues that are important to New Zealanders.
We also wanted to know who they felt is responsible for addressing issues and what environmental issues New Zealanders need more information on.
In September we repeated parts of the survey to understand how New Zealanders’ views have changed, particularly in light of the Government consultations on the Zero Carbon Bill and the proposed mandatory phase out of single-use plastic shopping bags.
