The government will today reveal its scheme - the Emissions Reduction Plan - to meet the country's very-first emissions budget. Climate Change Minister James Shaw said bipartisan support of the emissions budgets gives New Zealanders a sense of certainty on future climate change policy. The emissions budgets now serve as bipartisan climate goals but the National Party is already forewarning its support doesn't necessarily extend to the government's plan to meet them. Te Pāti Māori is pessimistic about the Emissions Reduction Plan, having opposed the emissions budgets on the basis they don't go far enough. The Emissions Reduction Plan will be released at midday.
