2848 (2025). Chlöe Swarbrick to the Minister of Climate Change

2848 (2025). Chlöe Swarbrick to the Minister of Climate Change: What is the rationale behind the Government's statement that New Zealand’s second Nationally Determined Contribution range is greater than the global average rate of emissions reductions required to keep global warming to 1.5 degrees?

Hon Simon Watts: The rationale for this statement is that for the second Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC2) to be compatible with the 1.5 degrees goal, it would need to reflect emissions reductions more than the global average rate of emissions reductions required to achieve this goal.
