New Zealand is using a system of emissions budgets to meet its 2050 target.  The Government published the first three emissions budgets (2022–2025, 2026–2030, 2031–2035) in May 2022. The Emissions Reduction Plan setting out policies and strategies for meeting emissions budgets was published on 16 May 2022.
