Review on whether emissions from international shipping and aviation should be included in the 2050 target
Review on whether emissions from international shipping and aviation should be included in the 2050 target, and if so how.
In late May 2024 we submitted to the Climate Change Commission on the Review on whether emissions from international shipping and aviation should be included in the 2050 target, and if so how.
We have focused our submission on the potential to include international shipping in New Zealand’s domestic carbon targets.
We discussed policy commitments to emissions reduction in the context of: shipping emissions as a component of overall emissions from agricultural products; supply chain risk for New Zealand; current port infrastructure issues; and international policy and shipping company initiatives to address vessel emissions.
