CRMG meeting material

11 April 2023 meeting

• April CRMG meeting pack

The Board advised the CRMG that we were no longer on track to meet the first emissions budget.

This finding was in response to the Board’s first six-monthly report on progress in the ERP. This report was published in February 2023. It stated that meeting the first emissions budget was “finely balanced”. The report was based on data and insights from December 2022. The December data did not include the estimated abatement impact from some policies in the ERP. 

31 May 2023 meeting

• May CRMG meeting pack

The Board provided updated advice to the CRMG on emissions budgets. Its advice was that New Zealand would land within the first emissions budget. This advice followed further analysis of:

• policy impacts
• the effect of methodological improvements to how we calculate emissions.

This advice used new data published in April 2023.  

We make methodological improvements every year. This ensures emissions data remains accurate as new information and methods become available.
