New Zealand's animal emissions tax: Fighting climate change or hot air?
Earlier this month, New Zealand proposed a world first - having farmers pay for the emissions of their animals. Essentially, a methane tax for livestock. In a country that only has 5 million people, but 10 million cows and 26 million sheep - and where 50% of their emissions come from agriculture, it's no surprise it's front of mind in New Zealand's battle to get to net zero. In this episode, Alec and Sascha talk about how New Zealand are proposing to tax emissions from agriculture, and then look at whether this is a model the rest of the world will follow.
