1 IN CONFIDENCE Climate Change Response (National Emissions Reduction) Amendment Bill Member s Bill Explanatory note General policy statement The purpose of this Bill is to ensure that the New Zealand emissions trading scheme (ETS) achieves the purpose specif ed in the Climate Change Response Act 2002 (the Act). In particular, it aims to enable New Zealand to respond positively to the requirement of all countries for national emission reductions suff cient to avert dangerous climate change. At present, the New Zealand Government has the following principal goals in its climate change policy: a legal obligation for meeting its responsibility target for million assigned amount units (equivalent to million tonnes of greenhouse gases) for the f rst Kyoto commitment period: a recent decision to stay outside the second Kyoto commitment period during the transition period ( ), and thus not be bound by any legal obligation for specif c quantitative reductions: a unilateral, and conditional, commitment to a 10% to 20% reduction in net emissions in the year 2020 off its 1990 level:

2 2 ClimateChangeResponse(National a unilateral commitment to a 50% reduction in net emissions in the year 2050 off its 1990 level. These targets are inadequate to ensure that New Zealand is doing its fair share in responding to the decision of the 16th Conference in Cancun of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change to increase the level of ambition in national mitigation commitments and achieve the goal of limiting global temperature increase to 2 C above the pre-industrial level, which is held to be the threshold of dangerous climate change. New Zealand s weak targets form a proportionate part of the global emissions gap the collective pledges that amount to only 50% of what is required to remain within the 2 C limit. Those current pledges are estimated to result in a temperature rise of 4 C by 2100, on the cusp of catastrophic climate change. This Bill will amend the Act to achieve the following: Targets 1 Commit New Zealand to an annual emissions level for 2020 and 2050 that is the mid-point of the range prescribed in each case [33% for 2020 (range = 25% to 40% below 1990); 88% for 2050 (range = 80% to 95%)]: 2 Commit New Zealand to time-bound carbon dioxide equivalent quantitative budgets from 2013 to 2050 designed to achieve the 2020 and 2050 targets, with a general straight-line phase-down in annual emissions over that period: Independent Commission 3 Establish an independent Climate Change Commission with responsibility to provide the Government with advice on carbon dioxide equivalent targets, budgets, and measures to achieve these goals: Measures 4 Provide for amendments to the ETS that introduce an effective pathway to the above goals, namely: introduction of a price f oor, and termination of the price cap: phase-out of the one-for-two surrender obligation: termination of the issuance of free allocations to participants: introduction of auctioning of New Zealand units, commencing in 2013:

3 3 restrictions on international units that can be traded and surrendered in New Zealand: introduction of agriculture into the scheme: obligation on the Minister to prohibit the entry of any international carbon credits that may, in his or her judgement, depress the price in New Zealand below the carbon f oor price: prohibiting participants engaging in futures trading of New Zealand units or any Kyoto units: requiring participants who claim that price increases in products or services are due to an increase in the carbon price to provide a report to the Climate Change Commission verifying that claim. Clause by clause analysis Clause 1 is the Title clause. Clause 2 is the commencement clause, and provides for the Bill to come into effect on the day after the date on which it receives the Royal assent. Clause 3 states that the Bill amends the Climate Change Response Act 2002 (the principal Act). Part 1 Amendments to principal Act Clause 4 amends section 4 by providing def nitions of terms used in the Bill. Clause 5 amends section 30G to ref ect constraints on the Minister s ability to recommend the making of certain regulations, in accordance with new section 222N. Clause 6 amends section 63, which relates to the liability to surrender units to cover emissions, by adding new subsections (3) to (6),sothat at least 2% of the units transferred under section 18C must be units issued to a forest sink under a forest sink covenant. Clause 7 amends section 63A, which modif es the liability of those to whom the section applies to surrender units, by replacing subsection (2). Clause 8 inserts new sections 69A to 69C. The new provisions relate to terminating the price cap and introducing a price f oor for certain

4 4 ClimateChangeResponse(National units, and restricting the allocation and auctioning of New Zealand units. Clause 9 amends section 219, which is a transitional provision with regard to mandatory reporting by certain participants. The amendment relates to Part 5 of Schedule 3, which concerns agricultural activities. Clause 10 inserts new Parts 5A and 5B, relating respectively to national responsibility targets and a new Crown entity, the Climate Change Commission. Clause 11 amends section 224, which relates to the Gazetting of targets. The amendment makes the section subject to new sections 222J and 222M, so that targets Gazetted under section 224 must conform to the national responsibility targets and to national carbon dioxide equivalent budgets. Clause 12 amends section 225, which provides for regulations relating to targets. The amendment makes the section subject to new sections 222J and 222M, so that regulations made under section 225 relating to targets must conform to the national responsibility targets and to national carbon dioxide equivalent budgets. Clause 13 inserts new section 225A, providing for a periodic review of the principal Act. Clause 14 inserts new Schedule 5, relating to national targets. Part 2 Consequential revocation Clause 15 revokes a Gazette notice made pursuant to section 224. The notice is inconsistent with the new national emissions targets provided for in the Bill, and with the amendment made by clause 11 to section 224, the empowering provision for such notices.

The New Zealand commitment is taken as a mid-point within those ranges (33% for 2020 and 88% for 2050). These equate to 42 Mt for 2020 and 7 Mt for Subsequent budgets ref ect a straight-line reduction of an annual amount of Mt per year, from 2010 (52 Mt) to 2050 (7 Mt), rounding to be calculated in the f fth year of each budget period. 11
