Are Green Party policies evidence-based?

When fully reviewing a Green Party policy, creating an evidence base for decision-making is the top priority.

A research project kicks everything off, searching literature from a wide range of sources, including mātauranga Māori and lived experiences that have been published or made publicly available. We use established frameworks to decide how credible and useful each research source will be for policy development. We also consider how misinformation might affect policy decision-making.

We build on this evidence base as policy development continues, hearing from members with relevant professional and lived experience, and reaching out beyond the Green Party to experts and activists working in the field. We aim to only include the problems and policy solutions that are impactful and have a robust evidence base to prove it.
