What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

During COP31 in Antalya, Greens and Christopher Luxon debated the need for a future government to purchase overseas carbon credits. Greens and the Opportunity Party stated that buying these credits is necessary to honor the commitments made under the Paris Agreement. This discussion occurred as New Zealand faces a projected shortfall of 86 million tonnes of carbon dioxide-equivalent emissions against its nationally determined contribution.
