Exotic forestry does, of course, sequester carbon, but, as the Climate Change Commission has noted, if we have an over-reliance on planting, that means a reduced emphasis on actually protecting the climate through reducing emissions. So the 2018 changes—and a note to National speakers: that was a Government where Labour was in coalition with New Zealand First and had a confidence and supply arrangement with the Greens. It is a different Government—it was New Zealand First, which pushed for this special forestry test to encourage the planting of more forests, as Shane Jones was the then Minister of Forestry.
