Advisory Report Warns Emissions from Dairy and Cement Threaten Climate Targets
What happened
A government advisory body issued a national emissions report stating that industrial greenhouse gas emissions are forecast to increase between 2025 and 2030, despite climate targets. The report highlighted that emissions from milk production grew by 4.8% last year, and dairy processing grew by 3.6%.

Why it matters
The industry is projected to miss its 2030 target of a 35% reduction compared to 2018. The council noted that current measures are insufficient and that barriers, such as a lack of renewable energy options for industries, must be removed to achieve the necessary change.
