The Amendment Act 2004 removed the jurisdiction of local consent authorities to consider, under s 104(1)(a) or s 7(i), the effects on climate change of greenhouse gas emissions from the end use (combustion) of coal extracted under land‑use consents, except to the extent provided by a national environmental standard (and subject to the narrow renewable energy exception); extra‑territorial emissions from exported coal are not justiciable under the RMA.
