What is a Long-term Insights Briefing?
The Public Service Act (2020) requires government departments to publish a Long-term Insights Briefing at least once every three years.
Long-term Insights Briefings are designed to be 'think pieces' on the future, providing information about medium and long-term trends, risks and opportunities that may affect Aotearoa New Zealand.
They give effect to the Public Service's stewardship responsibilities and are not government policy.
