Could you please provide copies of any official reports the Ministry relied upon for the following statements in the [Zero Carbon Bill] discussion document:
1. That the Zero Carbon proposal will: – “create jobs”*; “upgrade our economy” so we will “be better paid”*; and – make New Zealanders better off while reducing emissions”**
2. That “in recent years, the increased emissions have caused the global climate to change rapidly”**.
