Energy 21 in Denmark |
|
A new energy action for Denmark has been approved by the Parliament. The plan confirms the existing target of 20% CO2 reduction for the period of 1988 to 2005, and sets a new long-term aim of 50% CO2 reduction by 2030. This shall be met with vigourous energy-efficiency measures and an increase in reliance on renewable energy from 8% today to 35% in 2030. The plan was welcomed by many NGOs for its realistic attitude towards environmental problems, in line with recommendations of the IPCC, the UN scientific panel on Climate Change. It has been criticized by NGOs for not having strong enough measures to reach the goals, and especially for lack of measures to stop the increasing CO2 emissions from traffic.
