Four countries and many corporations are now pledging to go carbon neutral. New Zealand, host for World Environment Day 2008, plans to be the first to create a completely carbon neutral economy. Their target is 2020 and they have ambitious plans to radically reduce greenhouse gas emissions with a big increase in renewable power generation and a switch to sustainable transport like electric cars. But half of New Zealand's greenhouse gas emissions come from their huge agricultural sector – from sheep and cows. So how will they manage? And what does carbon neutrality really mean? Earth Report finds out in a special edition marking World Environment Day.
