Joint List leader MK Ayman Odeh of the Hadash Party has appealed to the Energy Ministry to match Israel's greenhouse gas emissions goals to those recommended by the United Nations: a 50% reduction by 2030 and a 100% reduction by 2050, Odeh announced in a tweet on Sunday.


 

Last November, then-energy minister Yuval Steinitz' climate plan was criticized by then-environmental protection minister, Gila Gamliel, for proposing only a 30% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, and for its overreliance on natural gas extraction.
