The EU has established a plan to cut greenhouse gas emissions through a €1tn European Green Deal. It aims to make the entire bloc carbon neutral by 2050.
The Dutch government has recently drafted a bill in order to “charge consumers and businesses for environmentally polluting behaviors”– seeking to implement a €7 tax on commercial fights.
More than three years since the signing of the Paris Climate Agreement, most of the EU member states are on board for the newly set 2050 carbon neutral target.
