The Climate Change Minister says their latest plan could get us to our net zero 2050 target six years early.
The Government's released its second Emissions Reduction Plan.
Key policies include planting trees on Crown-owned land and introducing both a network of 10,000 EV charging points and agricultural emissions pricing by 2030.
Simon Watts told Heather du Plessis-Allan this gives us a path to hit the goal as early as 2044.
He says we need a plan that's practical and achievable, and they've been very conservative in some of their estimates.
