Description
In June 2020, the New Zealand Government passed the Climate Change Response (Emissions Trading Reform) Amendment Act 2020 (ETR Act) to reform the architecture of the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme (NZ ETS). As a result of the ETR Act, from 1 January 2023, post-1989 forest land will be classified either as standard post-1989 forest (stock change), standard post1989 forest (averaging) or permanent post-1989 forest. This paper collates information for obtaining New Zealand Units from these three forestry activities via the NZ ETS and summarises the most recent decisions regarding forestry-related accounting methods and operational changes to the NZ ETS.
