Iceland’s Green Party Prime Minister Katrín Jakobsdóttir recently announced that her country is well on it’s way to achieving the goals set out in the Paris Agreement and posted the following statement on social media:
“Politics is about succeeding in important matters. Climate change is a priority for this government and it is therefore a great pleasure to present today a new action plan on climate change, which shows that due to targeted action, Iceland will live up to its obligations under the Paris Agreement – and better yet. This is not a matter of course, but the government decided at the beginning of this election period to put the climate fight at the forefront and since then we have worked hard to achieve our goal of a 40% reduction in emissions by 2030. Now we are aiming for that and I am incredibly proud!”
