May 2024: Opportunity Green and Transport & Environment responded to a call for inputs from the Aotearoa New Zealand Climate Change Commission explaining why international aviation and shipping (IAS) must be included in the country’s 2050 climate target.

The submission addresses two key areas of further information or evidence that the Commission should consider on the national and global context or technology opportunities for making decisions on including IAS emissions in the 2050 target: (a) international legal obligations; and (b) the global context and technologies for decarbonisation.
