Measures to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions in New Zealand Post-2012

The discussion document on Measures to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions in New Zealand Post-2012 aims to start a dialogue on preferred policy measures that could reduce our emissions and protect and enhance our forest carbon sinks after the end of the first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol.

The future international situation is still uncertain and there are many challenges inherent in developing policies for the period after 2012. However, there are also opportunities to choose policies that will place New Zealand on a positive path for managing emissions and sinks in a way that can also serve our national interests.

There are frequently asked questions on this discussion paper and others that were released in December 2006.
