We are consulting with the public from 1 February - 28 March 2021 on a draft of our first package of advice to Government on the actions it must take to reach net-zero by 2050, and ensure a transition to a low-emissions, climate resilient and thriving Aotearoa.

What does our first package of advice cover?

Specifically, this package of advice is made up of:

• The proposed first three emissions budgets and guidance on the first emissions reduction plan, advising the Government on how the emissions budgets could be met
• Whether Aotearoa’s first Nationally Determined Contribution is compatible with contributing to the global efforts to limit warming above 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels
• Advice on what potential reductions in biogenic methane might be needed in the future (this is not a review of current targets).
