I was very taken with what we said about climate justice, the fairness of the new measures and how we are taking a disproportionate share of global emissions and are eating into available carbon budgets for developing countries. We have to see this through the lens of our contribution to international development as well. I do not think we talk about that enough from a climate perspective.

Professor Daly mentioned Denmark a few times as another country that has a significant agricultural sector and, rather than being selfish about it and trying to retain as much of a methane budget for itself as it can, is making efforts and taking steps to reduce it.

In practical terms, what is Denmark doing that we are not? We have just spoken about the fact the dairy output in all scenarios will increase significantly and I am interested in learning what Denmark does differently.
