Case Study - New Zealand’s Environment Jobs stimulus
- This year, New Zealand went big with a $1.1 billion ‘Environment Jobs’ stimulus package to create 11,000 jobs. It was announced in May and funding hit the ground soon after, and in just three weeks projects are up and running.
- Conservation Minister Eugenie Sage says, “this investment in nature will not only support thousands of people with jobs but pay dividends for generations to come by giving nature a helping hand.”
