Climate Change Commission releases report on domestic contribution to the second nationally determined contribution

This report considers the domestic emissions reductions that could be achieved as part of the second nationally determined contribution (NDC2). The Government will set NDC2 by February 2025 at the latest.

A nationally determined contribution (NDC) is Aotearoa New Zealand's agreed contribution towards the collective global effort on climate change, which the country signed up for under the Paris Agreement.

The overall finding of this report is that domestic emissions reductions could make a substantial contribution to NDC2, as long as enough is done this decade to get the ball rolling.
