A/HRC/41/4 of the recommendations from the universal periodic review and the examinations by the treaty bodies. 117. In relation to indigenous rights, the delegation recalled that the Treaty of Waitangi was recognized as a foundational document for New Zealand, of both historic and ongoing importance and covering both individual and collective rights. Its principles were partnership, protection and participation. Moreover, the courts had held that the Treaty was part of the context in which legislation was interpreted. 118. In response to comments regarding climate change, the delegation stated that New Zealand was very aware that climate change was affecting the country. Its neighbours in the Pacific region, along with other small island developing States, were uniquely vulnerable to that phenomenon. New Zealand was committed to taking collaborative action to support its Pacific neighbours. 119. The Government had introduced several policy initiatives to achieve its commitment of transitioning to a low-emissions economy by 2050. It had passed the Zero Carbon Act, amended the country’s emissions trading scheme, and established an independent Climate Change Commission. Some $NZ 100 million had been earmarked for a Green Investment Fund. It was embarking on actions geared to stimulating investments in low-emissions projects. A similar measure entailed the planting of 1 billion trees by the year 2028. 120. The delegation noted that the well-being approach informed government policy and the deployment of the country’s budget. The Child Poverty Reduction Act had established a number of measures and objectives. The legislation required the Government to develop and publish a strategy for the well-being of all children, with a particular focus on those in poverty and those with greater needs, and would include children with disabilities. The child and youth well-being strategy would provide a framework for action by government departments and civil society actors. 121. In conclusion, the delegation thanked States that had made recommendations and provided constructive comments, and members of civil society for their contributions. The delegation indicated that the universal periodic review was a valuable opportunity for New Zealand to review its human rights situation and measure its improvement. New Zealand remained committed to engaging constructively with the universal periodic review and to making further efforts for enhanced promotion and protection of human rights. II.
