Tools and forms
CIPA early engagement form [word, 63 KB]
Agencies should complete the early engagement form for all proposals where there is a potential emissions impact (direct or indirect and regardless of scale), or where there is an unknown or uncertain impact on emissions. The early engagement form helps identify if your policy is likely to be subject to the requirement by determining where your policy may have greenhouse gas emission impacts in one or more the sectors identified by the New Zealand Greenhouse Gas Inventory. This form should be sent to the Ministry for the Environment at cipa@mfe.govt.nz.
CIPA disclosure sheet [word, 61 KB]
Once agencies have engaged with the Ministry for the Environment and determined that the CIPA requirement applies, the completed CIPA disclosure sheet should be attached to the relevant Cabinet paper for discussion at Cabinet.
