Commission, minister sued by lawyers over climate report Fri, 2 Jul 2021, 11:42AM
A group of lawyers is suing the Climate Change Commission, alleging its advice to the Government on carbon reductions contains substantial mathematical errors.
On Thursday, Lawyers for Climate Action NZ, an incorporated group which says it represents more than 300 lawyers, filed proceedings in the High Court arguing the commission s advice does not comply with the legislation and understates the necessary reductions in greenhouse gases.
It will seek orders that the commission acted unlawfully and should reconsider its advice on New Zealand s contributions to global climate goals and the targets in the early emissions budgets.
