Sebastian Leuzinger: AUT Professor and Plant Ecologist on the report on New Zealand's climate change efforts
Published 3 weeks, 2 days ago
Description
A plant ecologist says New Zealand would get a B on its climate change report card.
A Climate Change Commission report has found New Zealand needs to more than double its efforts in emissions reduction to meet our climate goals.
AUT Professor Sebastian Leuzinger says compared to the OECD, we're middle of the pack.
He told Ryan Bridge while we can make energy and transport changes, a big part of our emissions will be hard to change.
Leuzinger says there's not much we can do for agriculture, which is one of the backbones of our economy.
