New Zealand

In meeting its 2021-2030 NDC, New Zealand intends to use cooperative approaches, including international market mechanisms. New Zealand is committed to ensuring all cooperative approaches it engages in have environmental integrity through robust accounting including transparency in accounting and governance, and safeguards against double counting.

New Zealand aims to achieve our second NDC primarily through domestic emissions reductions and removals. We recognise the value of international cooperation and may participate in cooperation under Article 6 during the NDC period. We will ensure any participation is consistent with all applicable guidance and is reported through our Biennial Transparency Reports. We are committed to ensuring cooperative approaches have environmental integrity through robust accounting for the avoidance of double counting, and to ensure transparent reporting.
