Abstract
Dankzij het milieubeleid is in de afgelopen jaren een
daling van de milieudruk bereikt. De thans voorgestelde en voorgenomen
beleidsinspanningen zijn echter niet toereikend om de daling van de emissies
in de decennia na 2000 vast te houden. De productie en consumpie nemen toe;
de transport- en distributiefunctie en de intensieve landbouw blijven een
substantiele rol spelen. Hierdoor zijn grote inspanningen nodig om de
emissie van CO2 te verminderen en blijven de emissies NOx, NH3, fosfaat en
stikstof hoger dan beoogd. Om bij de verwachte economische groei tot 2020
de beoogde emissiereducties te halen zijn technologische doorbraken
noodzakelijk. De doelstellingen voor CO2 en NH3 zijn alleen bereikbaar met
aanzienlijke inspanningen op het gebied van regelgeving, prijsmaatregelen
en/of overheidsinvesteringen. Voor CO2 en NOx is internationale coordinatie
essentieel. De belangrijkste zorgpunten voor de komende decennia vormen
klimaatverandering, bescherming van de natuur, geluidhinder,
luchtverontreiniging in steden en de kwaliteit van het drinkwater. Door
vermesting, verdroging en bestrijdingsmiddelengebruik blijven in het
landelijk gebied landbouw, natuur en grondwaterwinning met elkaar op
gespannen voet staan. In het stedelijk gebied blijft het verkeer de
gewenste kwaliteit van de woonomgeving aantasten, onder andere via emissies
van schadelijke stoffen en geluidhinder. Een andere ruimtelijke ordening
van activiteiten kan, in aanvulling op technische maatregelen, de
milieukwaliteit lokaal verder verbeteren.
Thanks to the Netherlands environmental policy, environmental pressure has declined in the last few years. The present proposed and intended policy efforts are, however, insufficient if the decline in emissions is to be retained in the decades after 2000. Production and consumption are increasing; transport and distribution functions, as well as the intensification in agriculture/factory farming, continue to play a substantial role. In the light of these developments great efforts will be necessary to bring about decreased CO2 levels. The NOx, NH3, phosphate and nitrogen emission levels also remain higher than intended. In view of the expected growth in the economy up to 2020, technological breakthroughs will be needed to realise the anticipated emission reductions. The target reductions for CO2 and NH3 can only be accomplished through considerable efforts in the areas of regulation, price measures and/or government investments. International coordination will be essential to achieving reductions in CO2 and NOx. The major concerns for the coming decades are climate change, conservation of natural areas, noise nuisance, air pollution in towns and cities, and drinking-water quality. Eutrophication , desiccation and use of pesticides keep the sectors for agriculture, nature conservation and groundwater catchment in a mutual state of conflict. Traffic in the cities continues to threaten desired environmental quality in the residential areas, for instance, due to emission of harmful chemical compounds and noise pollution. Another kind of spatial planning of activities to supplement technical measures may be the answer to further improving local environmental quality.
