The partnership\u2019s draft <a href=\"https:\/\/hewakaekenoa.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/He-Waka-Eke-Noa-Draft-Engagement-Document-November-December-2021.pdf\">proposal<\/a>, released six months ago, was expected to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stuff.co.nz\/national\/politics\/300461560\/climate-change-official-plan-to-price-and-cut-agricultural-emissions-would-lead-to-less-than-1-per-cent-reduction\">result in a less than 1 percent reduction<\/a> in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. The final recommendations, according to HWEN, are \u2018expected to lead to an estimated reduction in methane emissions of between 4 and 5.5%, depending on the availability of technology options.\u2019<br><br>\u201cThis proposal by agribusiness is a ham-fisted attempt to cook the books with unproven technofixes which don\u2019t stack up, and emissions reductions from freshwater reforms that some HWEN members &#8211; such as Federated Farmers &#8211; actively oppose,\u201d says Rose.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThere are no actual policies that will cut agricultural climate pollution in this proposal, and that&#8217;s not surprising given it\u2019s the polluters themselves that have proposed it. The Government should biff this sham plan in the bin.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>Agriculture makes up half of New Zealand\u2019s emissions, which the science shows <a href=\"https:\/\/climateactiontracker.org\/countries\/new-zealand\/\">must be drastically reduced<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipcc.ch\/report\/ar6\/wg2\/\">keep in line with 1.5\u00b0C<\/a>. Greenpeace says that if intensive agricultural emissions do not reduce, other sectors will have to pick up the slack.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cUnder \u2018He Waka Eke Noa\u2019, it will take around 99 years for agribusiness to pay the same climate pollution price that the rest of us pay at the petrol pump. That leaves the rest of the New Zealand public carrying the dairy can.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThe government cannot accept this cooked and crooked He Waka Eke Noa proposal from the country\u2019s worst climate polluters. It is not ok for the biggest polluting industry to write its own climate policy, invent its own measures of success, and attempt to manipulate the public into thinking responsible change is being made.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThe purpose of He Waka Eke Noa is clear: to obfuscate and delay real action on agricultural emissions. He Waka Eke Noa gives a free pass to intensive dairying, while penalising less intense farming operations like sheep and beef farms, and M\u0101ori owned farms, who will pay more than intensive dairy. The agri-industry partnership is like a cartel, protecting its own interests at the cost of everyone else, and the planet,\u201d says Rose.<br><br>\u201cWe all deserve a stable climate, healthy rivers, and safe drinking water. But industrial agriculture, especially intensive dairy, is condemning our rivers, climate and health to contamination, pollution and chaos. Action to reduce agricultural emissions means tackling the dairy industry \u2013 New Zealand\u2019s worst climate polluter \u2013 and that means far fewer cows, it means cutting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/story\/new-zealands-hidden-climate-killer-synthetic-nitrogen\/\">synthetic nitrogen fertiliser<\/a>, and it means backing a shift to more plant-based <a
