By what year should NZ achieve net-zero carbon emissions?

The date by which we achieve technical net-zero is less important than the rapidity with which we reduce emissions in the coming 10-20 years. While we accept a technical target of 2050, the most important thing is that we rapidly reduce emissions to keep warming below 1.5C or less of warming. If current government targets are not sufficient to achieve this, The Green Party would want to change our targets.
