THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — The Dutch government’s climate watchdog is warning that the Netherlands is “very unlikely” to achieve a European Union-mandated reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 unless it takes urgent action. The Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency said in a report on Thursday that tougher legislation is needed to achieve the target of a 55% reduction in emissions by 2030 compared to 1990 levels. The agency says the country is on track to a reduction of 44-52% based on current and pending plans.
