Parlt passes climate protection law

The Hungarian parliament on Wednesday passed a law on climate protection. A government official said after the vote that thanks to the government's strategies, Hungary may achieve climate neutrality gradually by 2050 without endangering economic growth or burdening Hungarian households. Peter Kaderjak, a state secretary of the innovation and technology ministry, said the country is now poised to outperform its commitments on cutting greenhouse gas emissions in transport, waste management, agriculture and building energy by 2030.
