National Stakeholders Identification (New Zealand)

[GCRI]

Welcome to the National Stakeholders Identification Thread for New Zealand!
This thread identifies and maps key stakeholders across sectors to support climate action, disaster risk reduction (DRR), biodiversity conservation, and sustainable development efforts in New Zealand. We aim to engage relevant actors to mobilize climate finance and strengthen partnerships for the Global Risks Forum 2025 and other global frameworks, including the Santiago Network for Loss and Damage.

How You Can Contribute: Identify Stakeholders Across the Quintuple Helix Framework
1- Academia and Research: Universities, think tanks, and research institutions focusing on sustainability, climate policy, DRR, and biodiversity in New Zealand.
Example: Institutions like Victoria University of Wellington, University of Auckland’s climate research centers, and think tanks such as Motu Economic and Public Policy Research.

2- Industry and Business: Corporations, startups, and financial institutions involved in renewable energy, green technologies, and climate finance.
Example: Renewable energy companies, green technology startups, agricultural businesses adopting sustainable practices, and banks offering green financing.

3- Civil Society and NGOs: Non-profits, advocacy groups, and community organizations working on conservation, disaster risk reduction, and sustainable development.
Example: NGOs like Forest & Bird, Greenpeace New Zealand, and local Māori community groups promoting environmental stewardship and biodiversity conservation.

4- Government and Public Sector: National, regional, and local government agencies involved in climate policy, environmental regulations, and disaster management.
Example: Ministry for the Environment, Civil Defence and Emergency Management (CDEM), and local councils engaged in climate resilience planning.

5- Natural Environment: Organizations managing ecosystems, protected areas, and promoting biodiversity conservation across New Zealand.
Example: Department of Conservation (DOC), regional biodiversity trusts, and conservation initiatives focused on protecting native species such as kiwi and kauri trees.
