- In order to combat climate change, New Zealand on Tuesday proposed taxing the greenhouse gases produced by farm animals when they burp and urinate.
- A commitment to cut farm methane emissions by 10% by 2030 and up to 47% by this date is a part of the government’s strategy.
- The fact that there are 10 million beef and dairy cattle and 26 million sheep in New Zealand — compared to 5 million people — makes it imperative to address the farm emissions.
