Within the EU the Cabinet is pressing for at least a 40% reduction of emissions in 2030 compared with 1990. The European Commission will distribute the non-ETS goal across the member states in 2016, after setting down the Energy and Climate Package. The Cabinet is considering setting approximate sectoral goals for 2030 in accord- ance with the "Cabinet Approach to Climate Policy on the road to 2020' published in 2011. By way of indication the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency has calculated the reduction that may be required for 2030: a maximum non-ETS emission of 71-75 Mton for the Netherlands for 2030. Another study will be conducted to identify measures needed in each sector. Together with partners the Cabinet is linking to the European emission reduction goal some concrete actions that will lead to green growth, stimulate our economy, reduce energy consumption and meet the demand for energy as far as possible from renewable sources. This will assure that the average global temperature will not rise by more than two degrees and will enable us to keep the risks of climate change within acceptable levels.
