新西兰《环境报告法》修正案通过国会一读 将改革环境数据报告制度
新西兰惠灵顿——新西兰政府提出的《环境报告法修正案》(Environmental Reporting Amendment Bill)今日顺利通过国会一读,并将提交国会环境特别委员会(Environment Select Committee)进一步审议。
环境部长 Nicola Grigg 表示,修正案是政府完善新西兰环境报告制度的重要举措,旨在提升环境数据的质量,并使环境资讯更加及时、透明及具有决策参考价值。
修正案主要内容
根据政府公布的信息,修正案将重点改革现行《2015年环境报告法》,包括:
提高环境数据的准确性和质量;
让环境信息更加公开、易于获取;
调整环境报告的内容及发布时间;
明确政府部门之间的职责分工;
建立更系统化的环境数据和知识收集机制。
减少报告频率 强调长期趋势
修正案还建议调整环境报告发布频率。
政府认为,部分环境变化需要较长时间才能显现,如果报告发布过于频繁,未必能够真实反映环境变化趋势。
新的制度将更加关注:
长期环境变化;
不同环境问题之间的关联性;
环境政策对未来社会及生态系统产生的影响。
为资源管理和气候适应提供决策依据
Nicola Grigg表示,新制度将帮助政府:
更清晰评估环境变化;
提高政府环境工作的透明度;
为资源管理(Resource Management)提供更可靠的数据;
支持空间规划(Spatial Planning)决策;
为气候变化适应(Climate Adaptation)政策提供科学依据;
改善公共投资和政策制定质量。
她指出,一个面向未来的环境报告体系,将有助于公众更全面了解今天的决策如何影响未来环境及社区发展。
下一步
《环境报告法修正案》已于2026年6月16日正式提交国会。
完成一读后,法案将交由**环境特别委员会(Environment Select Committee)**进行公众咨询及详细审议,之后再返回国会进行二读、委员会全体审议及三读程序。

背景
现行《环境报告法》(Environmental Reporting Act 2015)建立了新西兰全国环境状况报告制度,由政府定期发布空气、水资源、土地、生物多样性及海洋等领域的环境报告。
政府表示,本次修法重点不是降低环境标准,而是希望建立更有效率、更具前瞻性的环境报告制度,使环境资讯更能支持长期公共政策制定和投资决策。
Legislation to update New Zealand’s environmental reporting regime passed its first reading in Parliament today, Minister for the Environment Nicola Grigg says.
“The Environmental Reporting Amendment Bill is an important part of our work to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of our environmental reporting system,” Ms Grigg says.
The Bill proposes amending the Environmental Reporting Act 2015 to improve data quality, and make information more accessible, relevant and timely.
“The Bill changes reporting content and timeframes, better aligns roles and responsibilities, and provides a more structured collection of environmental data and knowledge.”
“The Bill includes proposals to reduce the frequency of environmental reporting using timeframes better suited to tracking environmental change and that provide more meaningful insights. This will also allow more flexibility in reporting on complex and interconnected environmental issues.
“We need a future-focussed reporting system that gives clearer insights, and shows how the environment may change over time, and how decisions of the day may impact the environment and our communities in the future.
“These changes will enable clearer reporting on progress against government priorities, improve transparency and support more informed policy and investment decisions in resource management, spatial planning and climate adaptation.”
The Environmental Reporting Amendment Bill was introduced to Parliament on June 16.
The Bill will now go to the Environment Select Committee for scrutiny.
