Aotearoa's changing landscapes

By the second half of the century, carbon dioxide from fossil fuel combustion needs to be eliminated, and methane and nitrous oxide from agriculture need to be reduced. How that is done will have long-lasting impacts on New Zealand's landscape, communities and our wider environment. 

This animation explores some of the concepts introduced in Farms, forests and fossil fuels: The next great landscape transformation?, and looks at how policy decisions could affect Aotearoa New Zealand's landscapes.

This report explores a different approach to framing New Zealand’s long-term climate change targets and policies, and what that could mean for our landscapes.
