37409 (2024). Chlöe Swarbrick to the Minister of Climate Change: How does ending the ban on oil and gas exploration align with the COP28 pledge to triple renewable energy and double energy efficiency by 2030?

Hon Simon Watts: At COP28, New Zealand signed a commitment with 132 other countries to triple the world's renewable energy generation and double energy efficiency by 2030. This is a global pledge and recognises that some countries are starting from different places than others. New Zealand plans to play our part, including our commitment to double our renewable energy.
