The New Zealand Institute of Forestry (NZIF) has raised concerns about increased delivery risks stemming from the Government's amendment to the Second Emissions Reduction Plan, which delays on-farm agricultural emissions pricing until after 2030. While New Zealand is on track for its first two emissions budgets, it is falling behind on the third budget and the 2030 biogenic methane target. NZIF calls for the Government to ensure the implementation of mitigation technologies, provide long-term investment signals, and clarify the role of forestry in emissions management.
