Output Class 014—Environmental Research

Description
This output class supports public good research, science and technology that enhances the understanding and management of
our environment. The research contributes to the understanding of ecosystems, species, habitats and the systems that contribute
to them, and the human, pest and other influences to which they are exposed.

Research outputs provide the knowledge that underpins the management, protection and enhancement of natural
ecosystems. Research on sustainable use of ecosystems and the productive sector’s environment is also included as is
the attention to the social impacts of new technologies. These outputs contribute to an understanding of the global biophysical
environment and the impact of atmospheric, climatic and other changes to natural, agricultural and other human ecosystems.

The foundation is to focus on the following priorities—

Of the new funding this year:

● $1 million will be directed at finding alternatives to the continued use of poisons for possum control; and
● the remaining $1.5 million will be used to:
○ support multidisciplinary research aimed at improving understanding of the socio-economic, ethical and environmental
impacts of genetic modification and other emerging biotechnologies; and
○ seek opportunities for co-funding in the Environmental Research outputs.

Outputs comprise the following:

● Increasing knowledge and awareness of the state of New Zealand’s ecosystems and improving their
health, diversity and resilience;
$29,066,000.00
● increasing understanding of the global biophysical environment;
