Analysis of Updated NDC
Timeframe 

2021 to 2030

Relevant context 

First world country that is highly vulnerable to various climate change impacts, which may vary depending on the island and region.

Process for developing NDC 

In 2020, an information request to the Commission to analyze whether the NDC was compatible with contributing to global efforts to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial, and recommend any changes that would make it compatible.” The Commission responded by May 2021, with a finding that the NDC was not compatible to contributing to these efforts. It recommended that the NDC period “should reflect a reduction of net emissions of much more that 36 per cent below 2005 gross levels by 2030, with the likelihood of compatibility increasing as the NDC is strengthened further.”

Description of Monitoring and/or Implementation Mechanism 

The updated NDC mentions various policies, plans and institutional arrangements that will aid in New Zealand meeting its domestic climate targets, and help achieve the goals of its NDC. The Climate Response Act is said to provide a framework to aid the country’s development and implementation of clear and stable targets. Other relevant instruments listed include the Climate Implications of Policy Assessment and the Carbon Neutral Government Programme.
