The Dutch government's climate watchdog warned Thursday that the Netherlands is "very unlikely” to achieve a European Union-mandated reduction in heat-trapping greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 unless it takes urgent action.
Tougher legislation is needed to achieve the target of a 55% reduction in emissions by 2030 compared to 1990 levels, the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency said in a report that concluded the country is on track to a reduction of 44-52% based on current and pending plans.
