Govt considers its obligations as panel recommends cutting 2050 climate target

The Government's paying little attention to global action around climate change.  

A coalition-appointed panel's suggesting New Zealand weaken its current 2050 climate target of up to 47% less emissions than 2017. 

It's offered a new target of just 15%. 

Agriculture Minister Todd McClay told Mike Hosking the rest of the world needs to step up, but we only need to focus on New Zealand.  

He says we don't need to lead the world or do more than others, and the Government will likely just focus on our obligations.
