New Zealand’s parliament voted Wednesday to declare a climate emergency and committed the government to achieving carbon neutrality by 2025.

The 76 – 43 vote fell along party lines. In passing the measure, New Zealand joins more than 30 countries in taking the largely symbolic step.

The government also launched a new initiative requiring many public agencies to become carbon neutral by 2025, in part by eliminating coal boilers and buying electric cars.

Correct Answer: New Zealand ✔
