The climate crisis is right now claiming whole communities with these extreme weather events. The IPCC has again confirmed that without urgent action, this situation is set to get worse,\u201d says Rose.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cHere in New Zealand, intensive dairying is wreaking havoc with water, human health and the climate. The Government must act now to cut climate pollution from intensive dairying by phasing out synthetic nitrogen fertiliser, lowering cow stocking rates and supporting farmers to shift to regenerative organic farming.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>The IPCC report echoes a United Nations report released earlier this year, which stated that cutting methane from livestock is essential to tackling the climate crisis.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cMethane is an extremely potent greenhouse gas, with a global heating power 80 times greater than carbon dioxide over 20 years. By acting quickly on methane now, we can give ourselves some breathing room to continue work to cut carbon emissions,\u201d says Rose.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cNew Zealand\u2019s methane emissions have been trending upward for the past few decades, largely thanks to the increase in dairy cow numbers. Cutting methane domestically means lowering cow stocking rates.<br><\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve had decades of lax regulation on our most polluting industry &#8211; agriculture. Farmers will be hit fast and hit hard by the climate crisis. We need clear Government leadership to transform our agricultural industry away from intensive dairying to diverse, regenerative and organic farming.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>The scientific consensus presented in the report adds pressure on the discussions on how to accelerate countries\u2019 action in line with the Paris Agreement 1.5\u00b0C warming limit \u2013 with new and revised 2030 commitments expected from leaders at the UN climate conference (COP26) in Glasgow, Scotland in November 2021.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Rose says the New Zealand Government should take COP26 as an opportunity to redeem itself on the world stage.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cWe know Ardern\u2019s government has been criticised for its unambitious climate policy &#8211; despite Ardern herself saying the climate crisis is \u2018her generation\u2019s nuclear-free moment\u2019. If New Zealand is to retain the \u2018clean, green\u2019 image that so much of our export market is built on, the Government must cut climate pollution from intensive dairying and catalyse a shift to regenerative organic farming,\u201d says Rose.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cWe can have a thriving countryside with plenty of jobs and strong communities, as well as abundant nature and clean water. Forward-thinking regenerative organic farmers are already restoring nature while they grow good food and earning a premium for their products too.\u201d<br><\/p>\n\n<p>ENDS<\/p>\n\t\t\t<section\n\t\t\tclass=\"boxout post-15164 \"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\tdata-ga-category=\"Take Action
