5428 (2024). Chlöe Swarbrick to the Minister of Climate Change: Does the Minister believe that the Climate Change Commission is or is not "review[ing] the latest science on methane’s warming impact"?

Hon Simon Watts: The Climate Change Commission is reviewing the 2050 climate change targets (including the biogenic methane target) this year. The Commission launched public consultation on its draft advice on 8 April 2024. I expect to recieve the Commission’s final advice by the end of this year. This is seperate to the independent panel of experts that will review agricultural biogenic methane science and targets for consistency with no additional warming.
