The report, Net Zero in New Zealand: Scenarios to achieve domestic emission reduction the second half of the century, was launched in the New Zealand Parliament in March 2017.

The initiative is regarded as a major step forward in clarifying inter-party discourse and debate on New Zealand's national climate change policy.

On 7 August 2017, Graham and Party whip David Clendon announced that they were planning to resign as Green Party candidates for the 2017 election, after revelations that Party co-leader Metiria Turei committed benefit and electoral fraud.

Graham and Clendon stated that their resignations were due to the public positions she had taken regarding her offending, and her subsequent refusal to step down from her leadership role.

The next day, both Clendon and Graham resigned from the Party caucus, after there were moves to remove them involuntarily.

On 9 August 2017, Turei resigned as Co-Leader of the Party and as a list candidate for the 2017 election.

After Turei announced her resignation, Graham asked to be returned to the Green Party list, however co-leader James Shaw said he felt it unlikely to happen though acknowledged it was up to the party's executive to ultimately decide the issue.

On 12 August it was announced that Graham's appeal to rejoin the list had been declined by the party executive.

He gave his valedictory speech in Parliament on 16 August.

He said he was leaving without "hard feelings", and said that: "If politics transgresses conscience, politics must cede.” Graham noted he was proud of the cross-party group on climate change he formed at Parliament ("Globe-NZ"), which produced a plan for New Zealand to reach zero net carbon emissions by 2050.
