2847 (2025). Chlöe Swarbrick to the Minister of Climate Change: What did stakeholders who the Ministry for the Environment engaged with on New Zealand's second Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) say, if anything, about the need to consider the NDC’s impact on New Zealand’s international reputation?

Hon Simon Watts: I am advised that stakeholders highlighted the need to ensure NDC2 does not damage New Zealand’s "clean and green" reputation. Some noted that the NDC headline target is not expected to have major impacts on New Zealand's reputation and trade, unless the NDC2 fails to meet the requirements set under the Paris Agreement
