In what capacity should the UN hammer them exactly and why would you think this would be effective?
Also this belief of yours that per-capitaI emissions don't matter & NZ 'playing their part' effort is a waste of time is very much a wacky talk-back radio opinion.
National doesn't think this. Shit here's some

With our economy still largely dependent on agriculture, it's vital that we get our response to climate change right, not just to get rising global temperatures under control, but also so as not to inflict significant damage to our economy and disruption to rural communities in the process.
At a high level, the equation at play is what the cost is to our economy of transitioning to a lower emissions future versus the cost of having to adapt to climate change if we do nothing. While New Zealand is only a small contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions, by the same measure larger economies are reluctant to make changes too if smaller, more nimble players like us don't do our bit.
