Reforming the Emissions Trading Scheme w/ Green Party Co-Leader James Shaw: June 21, 2023

This week the government released a series of options for public consultation on reforming the emissions trading scheme. 

The emissions trading scheme is a market run by the government where polluters buy carbon credits to emit, however, a review of the scheme by the Climate Change Commission sez that the current settings of the ETS may ‘threaten’ New Zealand’s climate goals.

To discuss the ETS reforms and the options that are being floated, Emilia Sullivan spoke to Green Party Co-Leader and Climate Change Minister, James Shaw.
