The Ministry for the Environment serves as New Zealand's lead advisor on environmental and climate matters, enabling people and places to thrive. The Ministry's sustainability strategy focuses on people, environment, and finances. New Zealand has committed to halving emissions by 2030 relative to 2005 levels and reaching net-zero emissions through legislative targets. The transition requires stopping fossil fuels, afforestation, and changes to agriculture as part of global climate efforts.
