New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme (NZETS)
Introduction
The
New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme is part of the Government's
primary response to global climate change. It introduces a price
on greenhouse gas emissions to encourage the reduction of emissions
and the planting of forests to absorb carbon dioxide.
Links to Government websites related to the NZETS are provided below.
