New Zealand Winegrowers Roadmap to Net Zero 2050

New Zealand Winegrowers Roadmap to Net Zero 2050

The Roadmap to Net Zero 2050 is New Zealand Winegrowers' plan for getting the wine industry to net zero emissions. It sets out the milestones along the way and picks out the biggest opportunities to cut emissions, from fuel and energy use in the vineyard through to winery operations and packaging.

The page also explains why the industry sees climate change as a direct threat, with warmer and drier seasons and more extreme weather changing which grapes can be grown and where. Use the roadmap to see which emission cuts could apply to your own operation.
