Opportunity for feedback

1. Do you have any comments on the CCC's advice?

Please write your answer here.
The CCC advice is ideologically driven
Domestic emissions from New Zealand are insignificant compared to the gross emitters
China ,USA ,Australia,Russia etc
To cripple Nz’ s only internationally competitive industry (,a food and fibre Industry),is ridiculous

2. What factors should the Government prioritise when setting NDC2?

Please rank these from 1 to 3
Represent New Zealand’s highest possible ambition in light of national circumstances
3
Align with the Global Stocktake recommendations (1)
Align with the temperature goal of the Paris Agreement (to limit global warming to well below 2°C, and pursue efforts to limit global average temperature rise to 1.5°C)
Minimise costs from meeting the target
Minimise impacts to the economy
Ensure there is a clear plan for delivering the target
Consider New Zealand’s relative standing to other comparable countries/economies
Any additional comments
Urgent need for accelerated implementation of domestic mitigation
This is the silliest recommendation
Even if NZ completely extinguished all domestic emissions,this would make no difference to climate change
It is conceited of the CCC to think NZ mitigation can have any impact on Climate Chang

3. What factors in New Zealand’s economic outlook should be taken into consideration when setting NDC2?

Please write your answer here.
If the CCC want to take NZ back to the conditions of the 12 th century then blindly implement the recommendations

4. What factors do you think are most important for deciding a “fair share” for New Zealand for its NDC2?

Please write your answer here.
“Fair share “
What about the so called “developing “countries who are exempt from the recommendations

5. Should NDC2 be set at a level that is achievable with domestic action only or should it be set at a level that is achievable with a mix of domestic action and international cooperation (offshore mitigation)?
