This has HUGE implications for New Zealand. A large proportion of our emissions is methane from the dairy industry.

How methane emissions are pushing the Amazon towards catastrophe — and how ending methane emissions is our best chance of averting the worst impacts of the climate crisis.

Of course, Fonterra is delaying its scope 3 emissions reduction goals, let alone the plan to achieve them.

This is why we need the Government to regulate industry, to force them to make the emissions cuts that we require.
