  • The Green Party's new plan for tackling climate change will cut five times more carbon emissions than the government by 2030, it says.

The Green Party of New Zealand has proposed a plan to significantly enhance the country's emissions reduction targets, claiming they can increase the current government's efforts fivefold while simultaneously boosting the economy. According to the article, the Greens argue that their policy would not only meet but exceed New Zealand's climate commitments under the Paris Agreement. Their strategy includes a comprehensive shift towards renewable energy, promoting sustainable agriculture, and investing in green infrastructure. They assert that these measures would create jobs, reduce energy costs for households, and improve public health by decreasing pollution. The party criticizes the current government's approach as insufficient and lacking ambition, suggesting that their alternative would lead to a more resilient and prosperous economy.
