We’re already seeing the impacts of climate change and it’s not just an environmental issue – there are social and economic implications too.
We will work closely with iwi/Māori, businesses, NGOs and the public to make the transition to a low emissions and climate resilient economy. We want all New Zealanders to be part of the conversation.
What to expect
Zero Carbon Bill
-
The Government has signalled that it will introduce a Zero Carbon Bill in late-2018 to provide a vision for how we transition to a sustainable and climate resilient future.
-
The Bill will see New Zealand put a bold new emissions reduction target into law, and establish an independent Climate Change Commission to keep us on track to meet our goals.
-
Consultation on the Zero Carbon Bill will open in late May. Information on the Bill’s proposals will be released at that time.
