Submission on the Proposed Zero Carbon Bill

The Zero Carbon Bill is a critically important piece of legislation for New Zealand.

Even though the importance of controlling global warming has become increasingly clear and more widely understood over the past 30 years, to date we have not set meaningful targets to significantly reduce emissions and we have not had any mechanisms in place that seem to have had any significant effect on driving reductions in emissions. Hence our net emissions have just continued to increase through most of this period.
