Dutch Climate Goals at Risk After Success of Far-Right Party.

The recent success of Geert Wilders' far-right party in the Dutch election has raised concerns about the country's climate goals. Environmental groups are warning that the party's manifesto, which includes proposals to stop reducing carbon-dioxide emissions and dismantle key climate agreements, could have "devastating" effects on progress towards green targets. The Netherlands is close to achieving its 2030 climate goal, but a potential new government led by Wilders could reverse the country's traditionally green stance. The rise of far-right parties across Europe, driven by concerns over living costs and immigration, has also raised questions about the future of climate policies in the region.
