This is a report produced by Motu under contract to the Parliamentary Commissioner to the Environment. The goal was to try and get scientists with diverging views about the importance of ag non-CO2 mitigation and GHG metrics around a table and establish where there was agreement, and where there was divergence (and in the latter, drill down whether this is divergence about the science or the policy context/goals).

The report will be used as science input by the PCE in formulating its recommendations on climate policy next year. The are aware that I needed to put this report through the ROI (since it has my name on it) and are comfortable with MPI and NZAGRC seeing it (but obviously on a confidential basis, not for distribution).
