This insights report presents key findings from research quantifying the economic impact of the New Zealand Climate Change Commission’s national emissions reduction pathways in Auckland.

Areas examined in the insights report include GDP impacts and opportunities for Auckland; how jobs across the region could change in the transition to low carbon; and the importance of equitable transition plans.

This research is important because while national emissions reduction policies have an impact at a local level, they don’t necessarily consider regional economic factors.

This research provides an economic assessment of the impacts of climate inaction and decisive action to the Auckland region.

The State of the City study compares Auckland’s performance against global peer cities, to help us understand where we thrive, compete and can grow. 

The report benchmarks Auckland across key pillars of opportunity and prosperity, innovation and knowledge, culture and experience, and place and connectivity.
