Research to be part of NZ’s Pacific climate package

Sustainable agriculture, water security and low-emission technologies are among the research initiatives that will be funded through a $300-million Pacific climate assistance package announced by New Zealand’s prime minister.

Jacinda Ardern told a UN general assembly meeting in New York that the global challenges of climate change required urgent action.

“This is the time to work across borders and to do everything we can by working together. We are working internationally and want to do more to share research and ideas, [and] build opportunities together with other nations,” she said.
