Iceland was aiming at becoming a carbon-neutral economy and would support a number of developing countries in harnessing geothermal energy. His country had recently pledged a 40 per cent reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.
Mark Rutte, Prime Minister of the Netherlands, shared instances of his country’s experience in private-sector in
