-
anticipate and manage future impacts of global processes, such as ocean/climate interactions.
-
Marine resources — RS&T that underpins sustainable use of living marine resources and which will also ensure sustainable production for future generations.
-
Terrestrial ecosystems — RS&T that enables protection and maintenance of our natural indigenous land and freshwater ecosystems, and enables improved ecosystem functionality across whole landscapes.
-
Marine ecosystems — RS&T that enables protection and maintenance of marine biodiversity and ecological health of marine ecosystems.
-
Antarctica — Antarctic ecosystems are preserved for future generations and resources are used sustainably, in line with New Zealand’s international commitments.
Tools for Allocating Funding
Research, science and technology supported under the Environmental Research Fund must in each case fit one of the following Tools:
-
Science-led contestable funding — investing through a contestable process in RS&T and related activities.
-
Long-term non-contestable funding — using non-contestable processes to invest in RS&T and related activities.
-
Partnerships — support RS&T and related activities that provide for early and ongoing user engagement in RS&T and develop user-capability in engaging productively with researchers.
-
Commercialisation and technology and knowledge transfer support — research to increase the stream of commercial prospects from publicly-funded RS&T, and supporting and equipping users to engage with research organisations and applying the results of publicly funded RS&T.
HAZARDS AND INFRASTRUCTURE RESEARCH FUND
The objectives of the Hazards and Infrastructure Research Fund are to increase New Zealand’s resilience to hazards; support sustainable urban development, building and infrastructure; and help communities to manage growth and change, mitigate risks and maximise infrastructure efficiency.
The Fund will support RS&T that is intended to be of benefit to New Zealand.
It is also expected that the Fund will support relevant research that contributes to unlocking the innovation potential of Māori knowledge, resources and people as outlined in the Vision Mātauranga policy framework. International collaboration will be supported where this is relevant and of benefit to the objectives of the Fund.
Indicators of Success
If successful, the Hazards and Infrastructure Research Fund will generate and support the uptake of research, science and technology that will contribute to:
