Listening #ClimateMiles podcast with climate scientist @HeleendeConinck. “World needs to go to net-zero emissions by 2050, but rich countries should be there before, e.g. 2040.
The Netherlands govt doesn’t (even) have a plan yet for net-zero by 2050.” theclimatemiles.nl/podcast/dag-5-…

Good point that we don’t have a plan yet for net-zero emissions from the Netherlands by 2050. Would be a good basis for exploring net-zero by 2040 too. Things will change in the meantime (solutions can also get cheaper than expected), but it’s good to know what it looks like.
Here’s TU/e’s @HeleendeConinck with Red Cross climate expert Maarten van Aalst: EU Green Deal and NL govt plans should have net-zero emissions target for 2040 (not 2050) nos.nl/l/2401896
Why rich countries have to reduce emissions faster than developing countries:
1) We caused most of the historical emissions (CO2 still in the atmosphere)
2) Developing countries will only move when we do
3) We have the technological and financial means, and the know-how
1) We caused most of the historical emissions (CO2 still in the atmosphere)
2) Developing countries will only move when we do
3) We have the technological and financial means, and the know-how
And: we still have higher emissions per capita than most developing countries.
