Visir reports that the Icelandic Climate Council has criticized the Icelandic government’s climate action plan, following the report of the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
The IPCC states that the Global Climate Action Plan is too vague and the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 needs to be clarified and specified.
The Climate Council has criticized the government’s action plan because the stated implementation is not targeted and the reduction of emissions needs to be accelerated.
The council also calls for a new focus on investment and innovation for a climate-friendly future. Energy, transportation, and financial systems need to be transformed to prevent further climate change.
