Dutch farmers protesting over emissions

Subject :Environment

Section :climate Change

Context:

  • Farmers protested around the Netherlands as lawmakers voted Tuesday on proposals to slash emissions of damaging pollutants, a plan that will likely force farmers to cut their livestock herds or stop work altogether.

Why are Dutch farmers protesting over emissions?

  • Farmers argue that they are being unfairly targeted as polluters while other industries, such as aviation, construction and transport, also are contributing to emissions and face less far-reaching rules.
  • They say the government is not giving them a clear picture of their futures amid the proposed reforms.

What are the nature areas that are threatened?

  • The government has published a map with reduction targets across the country based on proximity to areas designated as part of the EU’s Natura 2000 network of vulnerable and endangered plant and animal habitats.
  • There are Natura 2000 sites across the 27 member states, covering 18% of the bloc’s land area and 8% of its marine territory.
  • The European Commission says conservation and sustainable use of Natura 200 areas is “largely centered on people working with nature rather than against it. 
  • Member States must ensure that the sites are managed in a sustainable manner, both ecologically and economically.”
