Report: Dutch govt missing climate targets, must act
faster
World
THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — The Dutch government must urgently take more
action to rein in emissions of greenhouse gases, an independent advisory body
said Thursday, warning that climate targets set by the government are currently
“out of sight.”The report by the Council of State on the government’s climate
policies was published just days before the start of a U.N. climate summit in
Glasgow that is seen by many scientists and activists as a final opportunity to
make carbon-cutting commitments that could keep global warming within
manageable limits.
