In 2021, total GHG emissions (including indirect CO2 emissions and including emissions from Land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF)) in the Netherlands amounted to 172 Tg CO2 eq. This is approximately 24.9 percent below the emissions in the base year 1990 (228.9 Tg CO2 eq.).
This is what I am wondering everytime I read such numbers. Reaching any kind of emission goals isn’t worth much, if we in return ship our trash somewhere else or buy more stuff from other countries that dont give a fuck.
Consumption based emissions have also fallen from 13t per capita in 1990 to 9t per capita in 2020.
