Last chance to have your say on emissions pricing

Consultation on the alternative emissions pricing options to the ETS, developed by the He Waka Eke Noa partners, closes this Sunday (27 March). If you still have questions, you can check out a Q&A video with the Chairs of B+LNZ and DairyNZ or access a range of other informative resources.

If you want to have your say on the options that have been developed, it’s really important you complete the online form before Sunday night, 27 March. You can find background information and a link to the form on our website. 

B+LNZ chief executive Sam McIvor encourages farmers to get involved. “Farmer input is critical to this process. Find out more and be sure to have your say.

“All voices count and we’re looking at what needs to happen to further strengthen the options that have been developed. We’re already reconsidering some areas based on farmer feedback received to date. It has to work for farmers and that will be key in the recommendations to Government by the He Waka Eke Noa partnership in May.”
