From 5 to 18 October 2022, the Ministry for the Environment consulted on its draft Long-Term Insights Briefing. The topic of the draft briefing was the future of land and people’s relationship with it.
We received 27 submissions. They helped inform the final version of the briefing, which was released in February 2023.

Land is a taonga. It is intrinsically linked to the health of the wider environment and to people’s lives and livelihoods. For many years Aotearoa New Zealand’s land has been under pressure. If current trends continue, pressures on our land could increase – affecting both its health and the wellbeing of future generations.
We asked for your input into our Long-term Insights Briefing on how we ensure the future wellbeing of our land and people.
