Hon Dr MEGAN WOODS (Minister of Research, Science and Innovation): Last month's Budget included $20 million over four years to continue the work we started in 2018 supporting a just transition approach in Taranaki as the region moves away from oil and gas exploration. This funding will also enable support to be extended to the Southland community as the Tīwai aluminium smelter moves towards closure in 2024. I'm proud of the work we've started on supporting workers and communities through the transition to a low emissions future, and I was pleased to see the endorsement of the just transition approach by the Climate Change Commission in their advice released yesterday.
