The Opportunities Party on Climate

The Opportunities Party says climate change is already affecting New Zealand through floods, droughts and landslides. They want to help homes and businesses switch from fossil fuels to clean electricity using low-interest loans and tax breaks, create a $5 billion fund to help communities handle extreme weather, fix the carbon market, support farmers to cut emissions, and work across political parties to set lasting climate targets.

• Help homes, businesses and transport fleets electrify with low-interest loans and tax breaks
• Get industry off coal and gas with a $1 billion fund backed by ETS revenues
• Create a $5 billion Climate Resilience Fund, including $500 million for nature-based solutions that protect communities
• Boost renewable generation by securing cross-party agreement to a 30GW total capacity target for 2050
• Refine forestry settings in the Emissions Trading Scheme to better protect rural communities and reward nature-based carbon sinks
• Restore the integrity of New Zealand's Nationally Determined Contribution plan and implement the Climate Change Commission's advice on meeting 2050 emissions reductions targets
• Oppose building an LNG import terminal, saying it locks New Zealand into long-term reliance on imported fossil fuel
