Our regulators are well educated, but there just aren\u2019t many of them.\u00a0 This simplicity would also be a strength in a country with capability constraints, or where corruption is a problem and simplicity naturally increases transparency and reduces opportunities for manipulation.<\/p>\n<p>Regulating fossil-fuel production and imports (that inevitably lead to predictable amounts of emissions \u2013 in the absence of effective carbon capture and storage) at the first point of commercialization, another first, made monitoring simple and, in the New Zealand context, minimized the number of regulated agents needed to cover almost 100% coverage of energy-related emissions including all domestic transport.<\/p>\n<p><strong>An ETS needs to match a country\u2019s profile and culture<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>New Zealand\u2019s small scale and our <strong>unusual emissions profile<\/strong> (around half our emissions are biological emissions from agriculture \u2013 cow burps and other unmentionables \u2013 and lots of land ripe for reforestation) led New Zealand to aim for an \u2018all sources \u2013 all sectors\u2019 coverage of emission pricing \u2013 and this worked well for our politics.\u00a0 In New Zealand \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/global.oup.com\/academic\/product\/fairness-and-freedom-9780199832705?cc=us&amp;lang=en&amp;\"><strong>fairness\u2019 <\/strong>is a critical cultural value<\/a>.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mfe.govt.nz\/climate-change\/new-zealand-emissions-trading-scheme\/participating-nz-ets\">New Zealand\u2019s ETS<\/a> covers energy, transportation and industrial process emissions but also deforestation, reforestation, and fugitive emissions from fossil fuel production and landfill waste management.\u00a0 We are still working out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iccc.mfe.govt.nz\/what-we-do\/agriculture\/agriculture-inquiry-final-report\/\">how to cover those challenging cows in a way that allows rural communities to thrive<\/a> \u2013 with the current intention being to regulate with emission pricing at the farm level starting in 2025.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/markets\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/32\/files\/2020\/01\/nz-cows.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1213\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/markets\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/32\/files\/2020\/01\/nz-cows-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"761\" height=\"429\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/markets\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/32\/files\/2020\/01\/nz-cows-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/markets\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/32\/files\/2020\/01\/nz-cows-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/markets\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/32\/files\/2020\/01\/nz-cows-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/markets\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/32\/files\/2020\/01\/nz-cows.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 761px) 100vw, 761px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The cultural value of fairness also led to a strong linkage between the motivations for free allocation and th methods chosen. \u00a0Sectors and companies (sometimes pretty much the same thing in NZ) who lobbied for free allocation had to make a logical case that was publicly scrutinized. Lump-sum allocations were given as compensation to those who were losing the value of stranded assets &#8211; e.g. owners of pre-1990 forests, including M\u0101ori Iwi (tribes) who lost some of the value of forests they had recently received in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.govt.nz\/browse\/history-culture-and-heritage\/treaty-of-waitangi-claims\/settling-historical-treaty-of-waitangi-claims\/\">Treaty settlements<\/a> when deforestation began to attract carbon liabilities.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mfe.govt.nz\/climate-change\/new-zealand-emissions-trading-scheme\/participating-nz-ets\/industry-nz-ets-1\">Output-based allocation<\/a> is still provided for industrial activities that are emissions intensive and trade exposed and therefore face a risk of leakage of these economic activities to other countries where climate policy is weaker.\u00a0 By effectively subsidizing the activities that might move, output-based allocation reduces that risk.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Political instability can negatively impact markets<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Not all experiences have been positive however.\u00a0 As the report highlights, New Zealand\u2019s ETS has suffered from a lack of policy stability and hence lack of emission price stability.\u00a0 This was partly because our emissions price was largely determined by international markets (from 2008 to mid-2015, New Zealand companies could buy and surrender unlimited amounts of international Kyoto units such as those from the Clean Development Mechanism and Joint Implementation). \u00a0New Zealand\u2019s emission prices bobbed like a cork on the international market. Another critical flaw: not embedding our ETS firmly in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2019\/nov\/07\/ardern-says-new-zealand-on-right-side-of-history-as-mps-pass-zero-carbon-bill\">long-term vision<\/a> for low-emissions transformation and within a wider <a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatecommission.govt.nz\/\">non-political institutional framework<\/a> that gives predictability of purpose in the inevitable ETS evolutionary process.<\/p>\n<p>The ability to guide, enable and incentivize dynamic efficiency (e.g. efficient low-emissions investment) has always been a key argument for emissions pricing, but, as a profession we economists have paid too little attention to the political and cultural stability that is critical to enable this. Policy makers need to regularly adapt and update policies. That process of policy evolution can help guide us efficiently through a low-emissions transformation, or, in the face of powerful vested interests and strong temptations to globally free-ride, it can open up repeated opportunities to undermine ambition.<\/p>\n<p>New Zealand is now engaged in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mfe.govt.nz\/climate-change\/proposed-improvements-nz-ets\">the next step of its ETS evolution<\/a>, learning from others and through critical reflection on our own positive and negative experiences, but continuing to innovate and tailor ETS solutions to our own unusual circumstances. The direct impact on global emissions will be small whatever New Zealand does with its ETS, but the lessons and the example that even small yet significant \u00a0countries can act and find new solutions, will hopefully help and inspire others.<\/p>\n<p>Kia kaha Aotearoa<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019m from Aotearoa, New Zealand, and I really love its land and people, but I am fully aware that from a global perspective it appears pretty insignificant \u2013 that\u2019s actually one of its charms.\u00a0 But being small doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t make big contributions including toward stabilizing the climate.
