Kia whakatere ai te raraunga taiao Navigating the data landscape: Role of data in support of environmental decision-making and stewardship

The Science Advisory Panel is commissioned to provide independent strategic advice grounded in science and mātauranga Māori, raising awareness of any science trends, risks and opportunities to the Ministry for the Environment.

The Panel has produced this report independently on how to best position the environmental data system (beyond environmental reporting) to meet the future needs of the Ministry and New Zealanders.

It is intended to further the conversation started by the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment on New Zealand’s environmental data, informing the Secretary for the Environment and other key contributors to the environmental data system such as Stats NZ.
