Trust sues NZ government over weakening Clean Car Standard without public input.
The Better New Zealand Trust, supported by Lawyers for Climate Action NZ, is suing the New Zealand government over its decision to weaken the Clean Car Standard without public input. The change could lead to a decrease of 39,000 electric vehicles and 19,000 plug-in hybrids by 2035, potentially increasing greenhouse gas emissions and undermining climate goals. The Trust aims to have the court overturn the regulations and implement standards developed through proper consultation.
