Netherlands: Advisory Council Critical of Government Approach to Reduce Nitrogen Emissions

In 2019, the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality commissioned an external body to propose a number of short- and long-term solutions in an attempt to solve the ongoing nitrogen crisis in the Netherlands. The decision was taken after the highest court in the Netherlands decided that the government’s plans for construction were inconsistent with EU legislation on the protection of wild flora and fauna. In June 2020, the Advisory Council released its final recommendations to reduce nitrogen emissions. In its report, the Advisory Council is critical of the government’s efforts to date, and argues that the government’s plans are not sufficiently ambitious.
