Harm -1What happened
Withdrew from BOGA following decision to repeal offshore oil & gas exploration ban. First country to exit the alliance.
Why it matters
International signal aligning NZ with fossil expansion rather than managed phase-out.
Impact assessment
Diplomatic harm complementing NC-003/NC-004; smaller direct emissions effect than domestic measures.
