Moana Ola encourages a healthy post-2020 climate change target in line with keeping global warming below 2°C that is ambitious and achievable. As part of New Zealand’s contribution to the universal climate change agreement, an economy-wide target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 40% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels. This type of commitment will require robust policies and coordinated action across the integrated sectors as determined by decisions of the UNFCCC Conference of the Parties on reporting agriculture; waste; land use, land use change and forestry; energy; industrial processes and products use. The real gains to our health and economy should use international mechanisms to achieve its 2030 target which are subject to

This means that New Zealand’s domestic greenhouse gas emisisons will be reduced in working towards the proposed 2030 commitment. The INDC indicator should be achieved through prioritising sustainable health and fair policies, that promotes further renewable energy generation and transform key sectors to build a resilient, healthy and decarbonised economy by 2050. Agricultural greenhouse pollutants must also reduce through agricultural diversification then technology.
Moana Ola proposes that our national commitments towards the low carbon transition should include actions that are in line with the Subsidiary Body on Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA) recommendations:
- New buildings are carbon neutral buildings as of 2025;
- Transport is decarbonised or electrified by 2040;
- Zero net deforestation by 2025;
- Hydrofluorocarbon phase out by 2030; and
- Low carbon electricity generation is reduced to zero net greenhouse gas emissions by …show more content…
We also recognise that the major impacts of climate change will be on developing nations, especially the least developed countries that remain a special case for sustainable development in light of their particular vulnerabilities to the adverse impacts of climate change including extreme weather events, coastal erosion, ocean acidification, sea level rise, that further threaten their food security and efforts to alleviate poverty and achieve sustainable devleopment. The only uncertainty is the political will of the international community to take effective measures to combat
