About emissions reduction plan
Aotearoa New Zealand's emissions reduction plan (ERP) outlines how Aotearoa will reduce emissions.
In December 2024 the Government released the second emissions reduction plan. This will cover the emissions budget for the years 2026 to 2030.
Emissions reduction plans are produced every five years. They help us navigate toward a low-emissions economy by setting out actions to meet our emissions budgets. These budgets are stepping stones to our 2050 targets.
ERPs requires climate action from every part of government and sector of the economy including:
- transport
- energy
- building and construction
- waste
- agriculture
- forestry.
