New Zealand Shipping Federation submission to the Climate Change Commission on whether emissions from international shipping and aviation should be included in the 2050 target, and if so how. NZSF’s submission only looked at international shipping, not aviation, and questioned:
- Whether a New Zealand-specific target would reduce emissions from international shipping more than would be achieved in the absence of a New Zealand-specific target
- The Commission’s assumption any IMO target would not be met, but any New Zealand-specific target would be met
- The risk a New Zealand-specific target would put international shipping services at risk
- The selective use of market access analysis
- The assessment of availability of alternative maritime fuels
- The Commission’s preference for a New Zealand-specific target instead being part of a global system led by the International Maritime Organisation.
