The Netherlands cuts emissions by 1.6%, but the pace is insufficient for 2030

In 2024, greenhouse gas emissions in the Netherlands dropped by only 1.6%, significantly lower than the 7% reductions recorded in previous years. Despite the expansion of solar and wind energy, sectors such as industry and aviation increased their environmental impact. To meet climate targets, the country must cut emissions by 7 megatonnes of CO₂ per year, a pace three times higher than the current rate.
