Fixing the Emissions Trading Scheme
A Labour government will fix the broken Emissions Trading Scheme as an urgent priority.
Labour will ensure the Emissions Trading Scheme actually does what it is supposed to do and maintains a genuine price on emissions. We will restore credibility and certainty to the carbon market, generating revenues that can be invested in affordable energy and resilience.
Committed to the Paris Agreement
Labour is fully committed to the Paris Agreement and will put New Zealand on course to meet its targets.
The Paris Agreement is essential for bringing countries together to address a problem affecting every country, every community and every generation.
Walking away from it, as National and its mates are planning to do, would be giving up on our kids' future and impose huge costs on our economy.
Labour is committed to protecting our economy and growing our economy - creating good jobs, bringing down household costs and strengthening our energy security.
