If New Zealand continues on its current trajectory of big increases in net emissions above 1990 levels then, when a global agreement on carbon pricing is agreed, the cost to New Zealand will be large. We estimate the cost at $1. 1-$6. 3 billion per year from 2020, rising to $2. 7-$8. 0 billion per year from 2030. 10 The current Government policy of doing nothing to cut emissions will become very expensive for everyday New Zealand families and businesses.
