New Zealand’s weakened climate policies and rollback on green commitments raise concerns ahead of COP30.
As COP30 approaches, only one-third of nations have updated climate pledges, including New Zealand’s 51–55% emissions cut target by 2035, which critics call insufficient and inconsistent with the 1.5°C goal.
The country has weakened key climate policies, reversed its offshore oil and gas ban, cut methane targets, and scrapped a clean investment fund, while advancing fossil fuel projects and leaving the Beyond Oil and Gas Alliance.
Though it pledged NZ$46 million to Pacific renewable energy and plans EV and clean energy expansion, these efforts are seen as offset by broader rollbacks that jeopardize global climate efforts and undermine its trade credibility.
