11月14新闻秘书处消息，政府将继续展示气候领导力。气候变化部长詹姆斯·肖（James Shaw）在格拉斯哥庆祝COP26谈判结束时他说:″在应对全球气候紧急状况方面，从对话转向行动已经过去。现在COP26已经接近尾声，需要注意各国必须采取的以脱碳为经济的行动。
多年来，我们一直在讨论《巴黎协定》规定的详细规则。随着其中的大部分已经敲定，各国可以继续开展关键的执行工作。
新西兰将继续以身作则，向世界展示有意义的、雄心勃勃的和持久的气候行动是什么样子的。
第26届缔约方会议的最后协议确实包括在政府一系列优先领域取得进展，包括提高减排雄心和国际合作。最终协议的关键部分包括：
要求各国在2022年底之前加强碳减排承诺，以确保它们与将气候变暖限制在1.5度的目标保持一致。
一项新的工作方案，以帮助加速气候目标，这是一个重大发展。因为这意味着每年对进展情况的检查将永久列入未来COP的议程。期待已久的规则，以确保全球碳市场的环境完整性和气候行动报告方式的透明度。承认在采取行动减少排放时必须保护人权和土著人民的权利。一项协议，加快逐步减少有增无减的煤炭和低效的化石燃料补贴，并为此提供支持那些工作和社区受到影响的人的公正过渡。我国政府已经在缔约方会议商定的许多关键问题上取得了一些进展。我们加强了全球减排目标，致力于逐步淘汰煤炭，并支持受气候变化行动影响最严重的国家实现公正过渡。
总理和我在第26届缔约方会议前夕宣布的新减排目标将确保新西兰在2030年造成的气候污染将比现在减少一半。这使我们更接近科学所说的将变暖限制在1.5度的要求。然而，除了制定更宏伟的长期目标外，解决气候危机还需要作出许多变化，无论大小，这些变化加起来将构成一个更美好、更清洁的未来。而且，我们的政府也取得了一些进展”。
詹姆斯·肖说:”仅在今年，政府就成为世界上第一个通过立法要求所有上市公司和大型金融机构报告其气候相关风险的国家。
·升级后的学校、医院、大学和企业使用清洁能源而不是脏煤。
·向公共部门车队推出近600辆新电动汽车。
·使家庭更容易通过清洁汽车折扣购买低排放车辆。
·新西兰历史上首次为新进口产品引入车辆排放标准。· 带回了在未来几年内我们仍将在汽车中使用的汽油中加入生物燃料的任务。
· 推出新的投资框架，到2050年，皇家金融机构的所有投资均为碳中和。
· 修改规则，以确保新西兰储蓄违约基金从化石燃料中剥离。
· 致力于引入绿色债券和排放交易计划的回收收入，以帮助为低碳转型提供资金。
· 资本翻两番新西兰绿色投资融资可用于投资未来的低碳技术。
保持在商定的目标 1.5度的变暖，在这里和世界各地需要加速决心和行动。我们明年公布的减排计划对此至关重要。最终计划将为新西兰未来15年的气候行动指明方向。在此期间，从我们所做的几乎所有事情我们需要减少碳污染。从我们种植食物的方式，到我们如何产生能源来加热我们的家园，到我们绕城而行的方案”。
詹姆斯·肖还说:”我们需要做的是提高基于自然的解决方案，如湿地和天然森林的作用的一种方案。如湿地和原生森林的作用的方案。同时促进公平过度，不遗留任何一个人和社区或家庭”。
部长肖补充说，同意一套规则，以确保真正的减排量在世界各国的意义不可低估。这是新西兰长期以来的优先事项。缔约方会议26会议达成的协议将确保各国共同努力，增加气候决心，降低减排成本，以做到维护环境完整性的方式。
最后协议深感遗憾地指出，每年提供1 000亿纽币，以支持较贫穷国家向清洁能源过渡和适应更温暖的世界的目标尚未实现，这显然令人失望。
然而，在缔约方会议前不久，我和总理确实宣布，我们向太平洋和其他低收入国家提供的气候援助增加了四倍，这反映了新西兰在1000亿纽币目标中的公平份额。因此，尽管全球目标尚未实现，新西兰仍将支持我们的太平洋邻国和其他国家向清洁能源过渡，并适应气候变化不可避免的影响”。
“最后协议还包括各国承诺继续努力，支持已经遭受气候变化损失和损害的脆弱国家。我国政府将继续推动增加全球对太平洋国家的支持，这些国家遭受海平面上升和更极端天气等气候影响造成的损害”詹姆斯·肖说。
Govt will continue to show climate leadership
Minister of Climate Change James Shaw marked the end of COP26 negotiations in Glasgow by saying it was well past time to move from talk to action in addressing the global climate emergency.
“Now COP26 has come to a close, attention needs to turn to the action countries must take to decarbonise their economies.
“For years we have been discussing the detailed rules that sit under the Paris Agreement. With much of that now finalised, countries can get on with the crucial work of implementation.”
“New Zealand will continue to lead by example here, and show the world what meaningful, ambitious and lasting climate action looks like,” James Shaw said.
The final agreement from COP26 does include progress on a range of priority areas for the Government, including on raising ambition and international cooperation to cut emissions.
The key parts of the final agreement are:
A requirement for countries to strengthen their carbon-cutting pledges as necessary by the end of 2022 to make sure they align with the goal of limiting warming to 1.5 degrees
A new work programme to help accelerate climate ambition. This is a significant development as it means an annual check on progress will be permanently on the agenda for future COPs
Long-awaited rules to ensure the environmental integrity of global carbon markets and transparency in how climate action is reported
A recognition of the need to protect human rights and the rights of indigenous peoples when taking action to cut emissions
An agreement to accelerate efforts to phase-down unabated coal and inefficient fossil fuel subsidies – and for this to be done in a way that supports a just transition for those whose work and communities are affected
“Our Government is already making some strides on many of the key issues agreed at COP. We have strengthened our global emission reduction target, committed to phasing out coal, and supported a just transition in the parts of the country most affected by action on climate change.
“The new emissions reduction target the Prime Minister and I announced on the eve of COP26 will ensure the climate pollution New Zealand is responsible for in 2030 will be half what it is today. This brings us closer into line with what the science says is required to limit warming to 1.5 degrees.
“However, as well as setting more ambitious long-term targets, addressing the climate crisis also requires a great many changes, large and small, that together will add up to a better, cleaner future. And, again, our Government is making some progress,” James Shaw said.
Over the course of this year alone the Government has:
Become the first country in the world to pass legislation to require all listed companies and large financial institutions to report on their climate related risks
Upgraded schools, hospitals, universities, and businesses to run on clean energy instead of dirty coal
Introduced nearly 600 new electric vehicles into the public sector fleet
Made it easier for families to purchase low emission vehicles through the Clean Car Discount
Introduced vehicle emissions standards for new imports for the first time in New Zealand history
Brought back the mandate to include biofuels in the petrol we’ll still use in our cars for years to come
Launched a new investment framework so all investments by Crown Financial Institutions are carbon neutral by 2050
Changed rules to make sure Kiwisaver Default Funds divest from fossil fuels
Committed to introducing green bonds and recycling revenues from the Emissions Trading Scheme to help finance the low carbon transition
Quadrupled the capital New Zealand Green Investment Finance has available to invest in the low carbon technologies of the future
“To stay within the agreed goal of 1.5 degrees of warming, ambition and action will need to accelerate here and around the world. The Emissions Reduction Plan we publish next year will be crucial to this.
“The final plan will set the direction for climate action in New Zealand for the next 15 years. Over this time we will need to cut carbon pollution from nearly everything we do – from the way we grow our food, to how we generate energy to heat our homes, to the way we get around our towns and cities.”
“We will need to do this in a way that enhances the role of nature-based solutions, such as wetlands and native forests, while fostering a just transition that leaves no community, no family, and no person behind,” James Shaw said.
Minister Shaw added that the significance of countries agreeing to a set of rules that will ensure genuine emissions reductions the world over should not be underestimated.
“This has been a long standing priority for New Zealand. What has been agreed at COP26 will ensure that when countries work together to increase their climate ambition and lower the cost of emissions reductions, it is done in a way that maintains environmental integrity,” James Shaw said.
The final agreement noted with “deep regret” that the goal of providing US$100 billion annually to support poorer countries to transition to clean energy and adapt to a warmer world has not yet been met.
“This is clearly disappointing. However, shortly before COP the Prime Minister and I did announce a fourfold increase in the climate aid we provide to the Pacific and other lower-income countries, which reflects New Zealand’s fair share of the $100 billion goal.”
“And so, even though the global goal has not yet been met, New Zealand will still support our Pacific neighbours and others transition toward clean energy, as well as adapt to the unavoidable impacts of climate change,” James Shaw said.
The final agreement also included a commitment for countries to keep working on how to support vulnerable countries that are already experiencing the losses and damages associated with climate change.
“Our Government will continue pushing for increased global support for Pacific countries suffering damage caused by climate impacts such as rising sea levels and more extreme weather,” James Shaw said.
