Political Forum on Climate Change Policy

When: 5.15-7.30 pm Wednesday 16 May 2007
Where: Lecture Theatre 1, Rutherford House, cnr Bunny St & Lambton Quay, Wellington

Submissions on climate change and energy policies closed at the end of March. The government has been considering them and will soon be in a position to put in place New Zealand’s domestic policy response to the climate change challenge.

Join EDS as we discuss the hopefully firming policy options with key political and business leaders and find whether a multi-party consensus is possible on what the policy settings should be.

Confirmed Participants are:-

Hon David Parker, Minister Responsible for Climate Change Issues

Hon Nick Smith, National’s Environment Spokesperson

Jeanette Fitzsimons, Co-leader Green Party

Peter Neilson, Chief Executive NZ Business Council for Sustainable Development

Moderator: Gary Taylor, Chairman EDS

Drinks and finger food are available from 5.15 pm in the foyer.

EDS is grateful to Chapman Tripp for providing hospitality

A promising and important meeting, although I am not confident that the core premise in The Inconstestable Truth or what is being done here and/or who is aligning around C&C in New Zealand will be equitably represented. GREENS have adopted C&C according to Russel Norman (private conversation) but advocacy is key to fostering the necessary public dialog. Even Phil Gurnsey has said MfE is C&C (despite failing to do anything to faciliate or promote that dialog, including avoiding any mention of it in consulation documents) For anyone that has seen Incontestable Truth they would likely be very surprised and, if they have been following the policy development process thus far, likely flumoxed by the absence of public discussion surrounding this ‘beyond kyoto’ international framework, especially one that has reached the maturity of C&C.

To that end I would be happy to contribute and speak to the initiative if invited to participate.

Blair – perhaps there’s scope for you to contact the organisers, EDS?
