Jamie Mackay: The Country host on Denmark agreeing to implement world's first tax on emissions
Description
Denmark has agreed on how to implement the world’s first tax on agricultural emissions - including flatulence/farting/burping by livestock.
This comes after months of negotiations between the country’s major parties, farmers, the industry, trade unions and environmental groups.
From 2030, farmers will have to pay a levy of 300 kroner per tonne of methane (as per carbon dioxide equivalent) on emissions from livestock including cows and pigs, which will rise to 750 kroner in 2035.
The Country's Jamie Mackay explains further.
