The Green party recently released He Ara Anamata - the Green party’s emissions reduction plan.
The document covers more than 10 areas of the economy and energy Sector that a Greens-led government would be looking to adapt to minimise carbon emissions and protect the natural landscapes of Aotearoa.
It also comes 5 months after the government released their own draft emissions plan. Numerous experts pointed out that the government is behind on their own plan’s targets to meet the crucial emissions budget for 2031-2035.
For their weekly catchup, Oto spoke to the Green Party’s Ricardo Menendez-March to discuss the party’s new emissions reduction plan and how they would address climate and the economy in a greens-led government.
Jemima spoke to Green Party co-leader Marama Davidson about Waitangi Day, which is coming up on Wednesday. They discussed what the process of Waitangi Day is, the Green Party's involvement at Waitangi, and the history of political issues at Waitangi.
This week for our regular Green Party segment, co-leader James Shaw talked to Jemima about the government's next steps for climate action and what impact the US pulling out of the Paris Agreement will have. They also discuss the resignation of long term Green MP Gareth Hughes and the new Sustainable NZ party
