June 30, 2015: China formally submitted its contribution to United Nations climate talks. The pledge commits China to a peak in emissions by 2030, an increase in the share of non‐fossil fuels in its energy mix by about 20 percent by 2030, and a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP by 60‐65% by 2030, from 2005 levels. A New version of ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management System is expected to be released in July 2015.

Netherlands court case win inspires climate campaigners It’s not every day a district judge gets cheered and clapped. But there was jubilation in one courtroom on Wednesday. The case was climate campaign group Urgenda against the Dutch government. The verdict: Netherlands must cut its carbon emissions faster, in line with the science. It was the first time judges ordered a national government to up its climate game, but it may not be the last. Under the ruling, the Netherlands must cut emissions 25% on 1990 levels by 2020, instead of its planned 17% reduction.
