OFFICIAL: GOVT EFFORTS OF CLIMATE AND ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION UNINTERRUPTED

 

Despite a state of emergency in light of the coronavirus epidemic, the government continues working to implement goals in its climate and environment protection action plan, a state secretary of the innovation and technology ministry said, marking Earth Day.
Anita Boros said that Hungary, where Earth Day is marked for the 30th time this year, is an active participant in efforts to meet the challenges of a changing climate, with “a number of initiatives focusing people’s attention to opportunities for conscientious and environment friendly ways of life and for joint action to preserve the assets of nature”.
Priorities in the government’s action plan, adopted in February, include eliminating illegal waste dumps and banning disposable plastics in Hungary, Boros said.
