A leading energy research group says more attention needs to be paid to what regulations on emissions from international shipping and aviation could do to this country’s wellbeing.
The Productivity Commission released a draft document explaining what New Zealand has to do to become a low-emissions economy.
But the National Energy Research Institute says the commission almost exclusively focused on domestic emissions.
The institute’s chair Janet Stephenson explains why it is so important for New Zealand to start thinking about future international moves against emissions from international transport.
