While the Green Party welcomed the underlying design of the scheme there was a concern from Ms Fitzsimons that the proposals lacked any sense of urgency.

"It is clever, and avoids a lot of fishhooks but it does not reflect the sobering advice of climate scientists that we have just 10 years to put our emissions on a downward path to avoid dangerous levels of warming," said Ms Fitzsimons in a press statement.
