30540 (2023). Hon Dr Megan Woods to the Minister of Climate Change

30540 (2023). Hon Dr Megan Woods to the Minister of Climate Change: Does the Minister agree with David Hall and Robert McLachlan who said: "Emissions pricing is clearly insufficient as a sole response to climate change mitigation, particularly at this current juncture where deep, drastic reductions in greenhouse gas emissions are required," if so, what complementary measures will the Government progress to reduce emissions, if any?

Hon Simon Watts: Yes, and through New Zealand’s second emissions reduction plan, the Government will outline the different actions it will take to invest in renewable energy, clean low carbon fuels, new technologies, reducing agricultural emissions, and carbon capture. The plan will be developed in 2024 and published at the end of the year.
