BusinessDesk has been conducting a five part series on New Zealand's climate change policy.

Part one gave us the news that New Zealand faces spending around $30 billion dollars over the next eight years buying carbon credits, to meet our Paris agreement.

The series has been written by Adrian Macey, New Zealand’s first climate change ambassador, and a professor of climate change, Dave Frame.

BusinessDesk editor, Pattrick Smellie, talks us through the data here.
