If you don't want New Zealand's climate minister to go to the climate talks, fine – but first please tell me what you'd do instead with the Madrid draft text on corresponding adjustments for CORSIA in article 6 and what this means for Air New Zealand's business.

Oh, you don't want an agricultural or forestry there? Tell me about where things stand with LULUCF and the KJWA then when it comes to pine forestry and pastoral sheep, beef or dairy farming. Are you worried that your choice will risk food exports?
Don't need a lawyer there? Okay, fine. Can the Minister give you a quick Zoom call at 2am to ask what the legal meaning of some words that an EU lawyer just suggested to broker a compromise with the LDCs and India and actually why doesn't that lawyer just talk to you anyway?
Oh, you'll skip Iwi representation. So what does that mean for tangata whenua engagement with the Indigenous Peoples Platform? Or loss and damage mechanisms that might be applicable for flooded marae? And aren't you worried about art 6 risks to UNDRIP rights?
Oh, what about finance! Should New Zealand prioritise bilateral funding, or up its GCF contribution? How can it be easier for Pacific SIDS to access GCF grants? What's the latest on the Adaptation Fund's strategy?
If you don't know the answer to these questions, or even whether these are the right questions, you probably shouldn't complain about New Zealand sending people who can to Glasgow.
