The Climate Commission has recently released their latest targets its fourth emissions budget, covering 2036 to 2040.

The Commission has urged the Government to phase out petrol car imports by 2040 and bolster renewable energy and methane-reducing tech on farms. 

Chair Rod Carr says changes in land use will have to take place as the climate turns around.

"Already, dairying in Northland is increasingly challenging because it is getting hotter. There are other parts of New Zealand where it's going to get drier."
