Netherlands to miss 2030 climate goal without further action, adviser says.
The Netherlands will miss its main 2030 climate goal unless it takes more action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, government climate policy adviser PBL said on Thursday.
Current policies are set to reduce CO2 emissions by only 44-52% relative to 1990 levels, it said, missing the 55% reduction target.
Meeting the goals had become harder, PBL noted, after the Netherlands' new rightwing government scrapped plans for the introduction of new road taxes and announced the end of subsidies for solar panels.

This should serve as a stern warning to the Dutch government to look into the issue of pollution and prepare on a transition to a greener future.

This is a concerning indication of the need for more aggressive and effective action. Climate laws should be put in place to punish offenders.

The sooner countries acknowledge the need for more ambitious measures, the better positioned they'll be to combat the climate crisis and lead by example.
