NATO aims to cut its civilian and military greenhouse gas emissions by at least 45% by 2030 and be carbon neutral by 2050, Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said on Tuesday as he announced the first emissions targets for the organisation, APA reports citing Reuters.
“It will not be easy but it can be done,” he said in a speech on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Madrid.
By committing to eliminate its net greenhouse emissions by 2050, NATO aligns the alliance with the pathway to deliver the Paris Agreement’s goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius (34.7°F).
