Advice on the National Climate Plan 2025-2035

The WKR published its first Policy Advice at the end of December 2023. It observed that the Netherlands is a low-lying delta and the consequences of climate change are already being felt. The key recommendation of this first advice is to take a more holistic system perspective on climate policy, including a better integration of mitigation and adaptation policies. Furthermore, climate policy needs to be stepped up, including an ambitious 2040-goal in order to be net zero by 2050.
