New Zealand's Climate Challenge

This chapter explores New Zealand's strategy for electric vehicle adoption and its emissions reduction plans, particularly through enhancing the charging network and managing exotic pine forests for carbon offsets. It highlights the complexities surrounding forestry management, the impact of reversing oil and gas exploration bans, and the challenges in meeting climate commitments amidst economic growth. The discussion further emphasizes the importance of effective policies, particularly the Emissions Trading Scheme, to ensure progress towards net zero emissions by 2050.
