Current prices are up some 80% from last June. The bullishness began around the middle of 2021 following a Climate Change Commission report that recommended progressively tightening the country’s permitted emissions until 2035. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has also committed to reduce New Zealand’s net emissions by 50% by 2030 on 2005 levels.
