This weekend\u2019s result in favour of Labour and the Greens is a strong rejection of that outdated position.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>Greenpeace says the Government must get to work supporting farmers in the transition to regenerative agriculture.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cIntensive dairying is New Zealand\u2019s biggest climate polluter. We can\u2019t go another term without doing something about it. The new Government, with or without the Greens, needs to start phasing out synthetic nitrogen fertiliser, bring agriculture into the emissions trading scheme and introduce a $1 billion fund for regenerative agriculture.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>Dr Norman is also expecting swift action to introduce cameras on all commercial fishing vessels and an end to bottom trawling in sensitive marine environments.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cNew Zealand First\u2019s close links to the fishing industry delayed much-needed reforms, but that political barrier is now lifted. We need cameras on boats and a review of the Quota Management System.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>Greenpeace says with the Covid Recovery funds there has never been a better opportunity to overhaul our climate-polluting transport system.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cTransport is the fastest growing source of carbon emissions in New Zealand. We would expect to see billions invested in railways, bike lanes, electric buses and electric cars. And a phase-out of new petrol and diesel vehicle imports by 2030.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cAnd it\u2019s time to give the Climate Commission real power to drive emission reductions.<\/p>\n\n<p>Dr Norman says Jacinda Ardern\u2019s promise of transformative change was not realised in the first term of her Government.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cNow is her moment to deliver.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cIt is still unclear if the Greens will continue to be part of the new government. But if they do they will need to go to that negotiating table with their best foot forward and deliver the climate and environmental policies that Kiwis want and nature needs\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cAnd as for National, we are always ready to help them make their policies much more climate friendly, ready for the 2023 election.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>ENDS<\/p>\n\t\t\t<section\n\t\t\tclass=\"boxout  \"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\tdata-ga-category=\"Take Action
