Read our proposal on designing a governance framework for the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme [PDF 1.4MB]

We need to improve the current market governance framework to manage risks of misconduct in the NZ ETS and protect NZ ETS users from financial harm.

We sought feedback on proposals to address:  

  • governance of advice 
  • governance of trading 
  • governance of market conduct
  • appointing a regulator.
