14. It is noted that the EQIA undertaken for the 2009 Act when it was a Bill identified certain impacts without knowing the particular package of emission reduction delivery measures. In the case of a Bill which updates the level of existing targets, rather than establishing a new target framework, no meaningful identification of such impacts is considered possible.

It introduces a new mechanism to replace the Kyoto international credits from 2020 (called ITMOs) and sets out 'decentralised carbon clubs' where existing carbon markets would link and trade.
