Two major farming groups have urged the Climate Change Commission to align New Zealand's domestic policy with its international promises on climate change.
DairyNZ and Beef and Lamb said it did not make sense for the government to do one thing within New Zealand and something else for the rest of the world.
Their concern was based on the relative importance of different greenhouse gases.
Domestically, the government has legislated a different emissions reduction target for long-lived gases like carbon dioxide, compared with a short-lived gas like methane.
