The Environment Act 1986 is the foundation law establishing the Ministry. ==Description== According to their website, the Ministry for the Environment is the New Zealand government's "principal adviser on the environment" and "on international environmental matters".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About the Ministry for the Environment )〕 Since 1988, the Ministry of the Environment has coordinated New Zealand's interdepartmental policy response to climate change. The Environmental Protection Authority was set up in 2011 to carry out some of the environmental regulatory functions of the MfE as well as other government departments. In 1997 the Ministry released New Zealand's first State of the Environment report.〔(The State of New Zealand’s Environment 1997 ), Report Ref.
