What does the Paris Agreement mean for climate policy in the Netherlands

This research paper by the NewClimate Institute translates the global goals of the Paris Agreement into specific sectoral targets for the Netherlands, concluding that Dutch climate policy requires substantial strengthening to align with these goals.

• The Netherlands must increase ambition across all sectors to meet the Paris Agreement's goals, particularly in energy supply where the share of renewables remains extremely low, although the country is a global leader in electric vehicle sales.
