WELLINGTON: New Zealand could miss its 2035 emissions reduction target, despite being on track to meet climate-change goals for 2022 to 2030, a discussion document on the plan released shows.

Its carbon dioxide emissions in the five years to 2035 are expected to be 7% higher than targeted unless changes are made, according to a discussion document on New Zealand’s second emissions reduction plan released by the Environment Ministry yesterday.
