The Dutch state will lodge an appeal against the ruling in the so-called Urgenda case. In this much discussed ruling, the court in The Hague ruled that the Netherlands must ensure that the emissions of greenhouse gases will be at least 25 percent lower than it was in 1990.

The state says it will immediately implement the ruling, despite lodging an appeal.
