Agricultural Emissions and the Dissolution of He Waka Eke Noa w Greenpace Aotearoa's Niamh O'Flynn: 12 June, 2024

The National-led coalition government has recently confirmed they will be shutting down he waka eke noa, which was an agriculture emission plan set out by the previous government instead of placing agriculture under the emission trading scheme.

The current government has instead decided to create a pastoral sector group for agriculture with more details yet to come. 

I spoke with Niamh O’Flynn from Greenpeace Aotearoa about how this will further worsen the climate crisis and what actions need to be taken to urgently turn things around.
