The Dutch nitrogen crisis |
|
A court ruling has forced the Netherlands to promptly deal with its high nitrogen emissions. The government has decided to cut speed limits and farmers have rallied in the streets to protest against reducing livestock numbers. Most of the “saved” nitrogen emissions from this package will be used to offset the increased emissions from building 75,000 houses in 2020. Only 30 per cent will lead to real emission reductions. It is also worrying that the Dutch government wants to discuss the possibility of repealing some of the Natura 2000 sites and the extension of other Natura 2000 sites with the EU Commission.
