The High Court has ruled against a group of climate lawyers who were arguing the country's emissions reductions wouldn't meet our international promises to keep warming to 1.5 degrees celsius or less.
The Lawyers for Climate Action NZ - made up of 350 people - alleged the climate change commission's recommendations to government violated this country's climate laws and the Paris Agreement.
The High Court dismissed the judicial review.
The minister for climate change James Shaw spoke to Charlotte Cook.
