## Resource

The Netherlands is in deep trouble when it comes to hitting its 2030 climate targets, according to the Dutch environmental bureau PBL — current plans only get us 47-54% emissions cuts, falling far short of the needed 55%. With no real progress over three years and political decisions stalling action, the gap widens for both 2030 and 2050. New measures like gas car incentives and heat pump rules barely scratch the surface, and nitrogen policies aren’t even factored in. Energy imports will still rely heavily on fossil fuels, while agriculture lags behind and data centers surge in demand. Climate Minister Stientje van Veldhoven hints at “painful measures” but won’t commit — leaving Parliament to decide if they’re ready to act before it’s too late.
