Ministry conferences and events
Sir Peter Blake Youth Environment Forum
The Sir Peter Blake Youth Environment Forum, hosted in partnership by the Ministry for the Environment and the Sir Peter Blake Trust, provides young people aged between 15 and 18 to take part in practical environmental projects that will give them the skills and experience to take action for the environment in their regions.
Talk Environment Roadshow
The Ministry provides a forum for having your say on environmental topics that matter to you through the Talk Environment Roadshow. A team of Ministry staff members visit each of New Zealand's main centres to gather valuable information and input from the community, business and iwi on key environment issues. The feedback from roadshow attendees is used in our work programmes.
