The Rli proposes to lay down the objective of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 80-95% by 2050 (compared to 1990) in a law at the national level. In view of the urgency of the climate problem, the Rli believes that a guarantee in the law in combination with a government commissioner who accelerates the energy transition is appropriate. The Rli also indicates that because of the uncertainties on the road to 2050, solid political and administrative support for the energy transition is indispensable. The advantage of a climate law is that it radiates decisiveness, offers legal certainty, is enforceable and can only be changed by law. At the same time, establishing a reduction target by law is not sufficient. Actions must follow from the goal. For example, in addition to an end goal, intermediate goals and transition paths (per energy function) are needed. Activities and further regulations will be necessary for this. In addition to legislation, and depending on the design also a government commissioner, the commitment of all parties to the energy transition remains necessary. Also, a law does not automatically regulate financing, nor are all social (cost-benefit) dilemmas resolved. A social arrangement or agreement on final goals, intermediate goals, task-setting agreements and agreements on the responsibilities of the parties involved has the advantage that all necessary parties can be involved and committed. The question is, however, whether this will lead to sufficient results towards a low-CO energy supply.
