Details of the request
Could you please let me know the dollar value of New Zealand's financial commitment in relation to the Paris Agreement?
A recent news New Zealand website mentioned (via FIA response) that it would be $1.4 billion per annum over 10 years (commencing 2020). This was apparently going to be a contribution to other countries signed up to the agreement.
(1) Could you please confirm or clarify this?
(2) How does New Zealand plan to fund this commitment?
