Listen "Government quietly rejects more ambitious climate targets"
Episode Synopsis
The government has quietly rejected advice to set a much more ambitious long-term target for New Zealand's carbon emissions. The Climate Change Commission wanted the country to aim for net-negative carbon emissions by 2050 - but the government has decided to stick with the current net-zero target. It's hot off the back of another decision last month to weaken New Zealand's methane target. Climate change reporter Kate Newton spoke to Lisa Owen.
