The Dutch government on Wednesday said it would spend 28 billion euros ($31 billion) in the coming years to guarantee it would meet its climate goals for 2030.
The government announced a range of measures which it said would make sure CO2 emissions in the Netherlands will be 55% lower than in 1990 by 2030 - ranging from building large offshore solar power fields to lifting taxes for polluting industries."The Netherlands has for years missed its climate goals. Now it's time for a great leap forward," climate minister Rob Jetten said.
Measures include a higher CO2 tax for industrial companies, and increased subisidies for second-hand electrical cars, home insulation and solar panels on houses.
