Mō te tūranga mahi | About the role
Emissions pricing, and the development and maintenance of market mechanisms to achieve our emissions goals, are central to Aotearoa New Zealand's climate response.
The Market Development team is currently focused on pricing agricultural emissions. This is an exciting, important fast-paced work programme, which links with other market mechanisms including the ETS, and the voluntary carbon market.
