2.8. A key priority for the New Zealand Government is responding to climate change and supporting sustainability and a just transition to a low carbon economy. In 2021 the Government strengthened its global emission reduction target to reduce New Zealand's net greenhouse emissions by 50% by 2030 and committed to phasing out coal. The 2019 Climate Change Response (Zero Carbon) Amendment Act set targets to make New Zealand carbon neutral.

2.9. Businesses and trade will play a fundamental role in the transition to a low carbon economy. The Government has invested NZD 300 million to recapitalize New Zealand Green Investment Finance and became the first country in the world to pass legislation requiring all listed companies and large financial institutions to report on their climate related risks. [9] Other measures have been introduced, including shifting public institutions and businesses to clean energy, requiring Crown Financial Institution investments be carbon neutral by 2050, introducing green bonds, and recycling revenues from the Emissions Trading Scheme to help finance the low carbon transition. New Zealand recently committed to provide NZD 1.3 billion in climate finance for developing countries over 2022-2025, a fourfold increase from its previous commitment. [10] At least 50% of this funding will go to the Pacific.

It has provided a climate-lens on COVID‑19 related policies and legislation.
