The utilisation of our land resources is critical to support economic, societal, and environmental benefits for Aotearoa. These land resources are also key elements in understanding our emissions balance, supporting mitigation, and enabling adaptation and resilience to climate change. Central and regional government, along with other external agencies such as industry groups and private companies are key partners to realise these benefits.
This group will investigate soil structure and distributions; the role soils have as pathways for contaminants, water, and erosion; document and manage the impact of changing land use; and Aotearoa’s international emissions reporting through a greater understanding of the carbon stocks in our indigenous forests and in the soil.
