Some projects which would've been funded by the climate emergency response fund will continue with new initiatives, including a public rollout of EV charging infrastructure, and a fund to decarbonise the public transit fleet.
The Government is putting forward a 200-million dollar boost for the Rail Network Improvement Programme.
Green Party co-leader Chloe Swarbrick is slamming the tax cuts - saying the Government had a choice to confront the climate crisis today.
