Court Orders State to Reduce Nitrogen Emissions

The State must implement additional measures to reduce nitrogen deposition on nature, according to a ruling by the court in The Hague in the nitrogen case brought by the environmental organization Greenpeace against the State. The nitrogen targets for 2025 are not being met, and achieving the targets for 2030 is also uncertain unless immediate actions are taken to limit nitrogen emissions.

A penalty of 10 million euros will be imposed if the State fails to meet the 2030 targets.
