Reassurances tackling the climate crisis will be achievable and affordable for New Zealanders

The Climate Change Commission has released an initial raft of advice to the Government to meet our emissions targets.

We'll need to reduce animal farming, end non-electric car imports, de-carbonise energy and bring in reforestation.

The budget to do so until 2035 is expected to cost less than one per cent of GDP.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says this is incredibly encouraging.

Ms Ardern says some in the past claimed climate action was too expensive, but that's simply not the case.
