The purpose of this subpart and subparts 3 and 4 is to require the Minister to set a series of emissions budgets—
with a view to meeting the 2050 target and contributing to the global effort under the Paris Agreement to limit the global average temperature increase to 1.5° Celsius above pre-industrial levels; and
in a way that allows those budgets to be met domestically; and
that provides greater predictability for all those affected, including households, businesses, and investors, by giving advance information on the emissions reductions and removals that will be required.
