Mike Bennetts, Z Energy Chief Executive and CLC Convenor says the action taken now will be vital in determining the success of New Zealand’s transition to a zero-carbon economy.
“The ERP gives us the framework. We now must urgently deliver on it. That will require business and government working at unprecedented scale and pace to meet the challenge ahead.”
“Our signatories are already taking action. CLC will soon launch a new statement of ambition to reflect signatories’ desire to unite New Zealand businesses to accelerate our transition towards a zero-carbon and resilient future.”
“We were pleased to see 107 Parliamentarians vote in support of our first emissions budgets last week. Locking in a bipartisan emissions reduction trajectory is critical to enabling private sector investment decisions that support a low-emissions future,” says Mr Bennetts.
