Amsterdam city council is unlikely to meet its climate change targets and is planning to draft in a representative group of locals to come up with new ideas, according to the Parool.
City officials have set a target of slashing carbon dioxide emissions by 55% compared with 1990 in 2030, but the latest prognosis suggests that 37% is the maximum that can be achieved.
And when it comes to the 2025 target of cutting CO2 by 5%, the city is actually likely to be producing 3% more, the paper said.

Amsterdam council is to ban advertising for cheap flights and diesel cars from the city’s metro system as part of a scheme to discourage the use of fossil fuels.
Adverts for specific products which require fossil fuels will not longer be permitted in the city’s 40 metro stations, which have some 30 electronic advertising hoardings between them.
‘The need to counteract climate change should be seen in the street, and that means in advertising,’ the council’s environment chief Marieke van Doorninck told NOS radio news.
