70A: Application to climate change of rules relating to discharge of greenhouse gases
or “How the rules about releasing harmful gases into the air are used to help stop the Earth from getting too warm.”
You could also call this:

“This rule explains how to follow nationwide guidelines for protecting the environment.”

This part of the law used to talk about how to put national environmental standards into action. It was part of the rules about letting out greenhouse gases. However, this section doesn’t exist anymore. The government took it out of the law on 30 November 2022. If you want to know more about why they did this, you can look at section 20 of the Resource Management Amendment Act 2020.
