1. What is the current NZ ETS going to do to emissions reductions and removals?
Please write your answer here
Not much, now that the carbon price has collapsed.
allowing pines as a permanent forest was short sighted and ill thought out and now what is effectively interference by government for short term expediency is disappointing to say the least.
If our govt (any govt) can't stay focused on the necessary and fundamental goal of zero carbon by 2050 then what message does that send to reducer and remover investors

you have undermined carbon farming as a legitimate ongoing income source for responsible long term (non speculative) landowners
you have undermined the collective responsibility to foster smart land use
you have undermined the value of landscape scale biodiversity restoration
you have undermined big emitters adapting by providing an easy and financially lucrative way to mitigate
that has now been somewhat kerbed by the price collapse, however the real people have lost faith

What's the point if it can't!!

yes as part of a short to medium term transition without under mining our production forestry base and coupled with pragmatic biodiversity restoration.
native regeneration med to long term carbon removal
production forestry short to medium term carbon removal
I'm not sure how you untangle this mess , well I am actually do but it's politically unpalatable and we as a nation don't have the collective vision discipline and responsibility to move forward together
Before the carbon price collapse there were a number of issues that really concerned me
the mismanagement of caa's and the lost opportunities on the ground
the increasing costs to the carbon farmer, looming cost recovery charges from mpi and the costs by using a consultant to administer ( which I recommend using a competent consultant because it's a PIG TO DEAL WITH even though it was designed to be user friendly, ITS NOT!!!)

4. If emissions reductions are to be prioritised in the NZ ETS, how could the scheme be changed to achieve this?
Please write your answer here
RAISE THE PRICE OF CARBON AND CONTROL THE AMOUNT OF CREDITS
This will drive emitters to invest in new technologies and for the consumer and investors to support and embrace the transition.
For the carbon farmer take the speculation out but providing stability legitimacy and responsibility
This has been totally undermined by allowing pines as a permanent forest

This is a very frustrating situation. and I have lost faith in any government being able to develop and administer a balanced and effective ETS.
I was going to provide a researched and well considered feedback but I can't be bothered.
I have to not care but I care.
I have had the opportunity to work in many large caa's (they're usually a mosaic over a large landscape) both native and pine and it is VERY RARE to see a well managed block, if the land owners (with possibly private and public partners ) undertook effective landscape scale pest control in regen areas the amount of extra carbon they would sequester would be significant, and therefore the obvious benefits ecologically and financially and the important and responsible part they play on the journey to zero carbon.
It is also an economic tragedy to see tended production forests (on the right land) being abandoned in favour of permanent.
i also note that there are many pine blocks that were planted in the 90's and now harvested that should have never gone into pines, they cannot be replanted (because of terrain) and now don't fit in the ets going forward
I am very concerned about the idea of transition forests and how that will actually work.
It's like a cute get out of jail card after a big stuff up
It ain't going to work in our terrain and our collective lack of long term discipline, Scandinavian forests are largely flat. Please don't make another big stuff up
I do absolutely support special treatments ( and possibly exceptions) for maori land owners for the reasons around injustice and the need for redress and sustainable opportunities
