The Netherlands has in recent years emerged as one of the most ambitious EU countries on climate change. That\u2019s likely to change under a coalition government involving the PVV.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The far-right party that surged to victory in Wednesday\u2019s Dutch election wants to ditch all efforts to stop climate change, says Politico<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

About a quarter of Dutch voters backed Geert Wilders\u2019 Freedom Party (PVV), whose platform includes exiting the Paris climate accord, dismantling domestic green legislation, and scrapping measures to reduce planet-warming emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While right-wing politicians from Scandinavia to Italy have won big over the past year, this is the first time a party openly calling for an end to the green transition has won a national election in the European Union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To govern, Wilders needs to convince several other parties to join the PVV in a coalition, and even if he succeeds, he may still not end up as prime minister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But whether in government or as the loudest opposition block, Wilders and the PVV will have significant influence on setting climate policy in the Netherlands \u2014 a country that has prided itself on being among Europe\u2019s most ambitious in tackling global warming. [Talkshop comment \u2013 \u2018ambitious\u2019 as in \u2018big spending\u2019?]<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coming just ahead of the EU elections next summer, the PVV\u2019s victory also reflects a wider shift that may spell trouble for Europe\u2019s climate efforts in the coming years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
