Questions have been raised over New Zealand's future in the Paris Accord, with National holding steady in support for the agreement.
Yesterday, ACT's David Seymour said New Zealand should leave unless the terms are changed, but Prime Minister Chris Luxon said backing out would mean we aren't a trusted partner on trade - and would punish our farmers.
Climate Change Minister Simon Watts says the Government has no plans to pull out, and they're committed to the emissions targets.
"The reality is, is that we're a major export nation. I've just come back from Beijing on Friday, speaking with the Chinese Minister, they're committed to the Paris Agreement."
