Submission by Greenpeace New Zealand: on New Zealand’s target to propose at Bonn 3

Publication - July 31, 2009

There is a strong public mandate for the Government to adopt a strong target. To do less than New Zealand’s fair share will damage our international reputation and our clean green image. Accordingly, Greenpeace recommends that the Government adopt a target of 40% emission reductions on 1990 levels by 2020 and announce this target in time for the climate change negotiations in Bonn starting Monday 10 August 2007.
