This document sets out proposals and questions for you to consider across a range of proposed minor and technical updates to the regulations relating to the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme (NZ ETS). These regulations are made under the Climate Change Response Act 2002 (CCRA). The objective of these updates is to ensure the NZ ETS continues to function as intended.
These updates sit alongside the feedback the Ministry is seeking on the annual unit limits and price control settings process. For more information, including background information about the NZ ETS, see Annual updates to New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme limits and price control settings for units 2025.
