The Government committed to the Paris Agreement and passed the Zero Carbon Act, both of which set 1.5C of warming as the target. Erica Finnie of 350 Aotearoa said the permit approval was disappointing and contradicted the Government’s action on cutting emissions. “What are we doing granting another 10 years for exploration permits in Taranaki? The Climate Change Commission’s advice to the Government has been really clear that we need to phase out fossil fuels,” she added. “There’s no room for new fossil fuel projects in the pathway,” Finnie said. “If the Government wants to take climate change seriously, it needs to ban any new coal, oil or gas prospecting exploration permits – including extensions of existing permits.”
