NZ's climate target needs to be more ambitious, says diplomat

Former New Zealand climate ambassador Kay Harrison emphasized the need for a more ambitious climate target for 2031-2035, suggesting it should start with a 6% reduction. New Zealand's current target is a 50% reduction from 2021 to 2030. The country may need to purchase up to 100 million tonnes of carbon savings from abroad, with costs estimated between $3-23 billion.
