AbstractAt the latest global convention on climate change (COP21) held in Paris at the end of 2015, New Zealand (NZ) along with other participants agreed on a worldwide treaty with the aim of reducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and thereby contributing to limiting the rise of global warming. Before the meeting, each participant was requested to propose its “Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC)” to reduce GHG emissions in the period after 2020. The design of an INDC needs to be careful considered. From one hand, it is the primary GHG reductions commitment made by each participant; from another hand, it produces a long-term impact on the participant’s economic development and decides whether the development can direct to a sustainable way.
