The United Nations is ‘greatly concerned’ about Dutch foreign policy, the NRC reports on Thursday, quoting the head of the UN’s environmental programme.

UNEP chief Achim Steiner says in an interview that the Netherlands is withdrawing from the international arena.
‘The Netherlands was one of the 10 countries which had a pioneering role in the battle to control climate change,’ he told the paper. ‘But we at the UNEP and within the UN as a whole, are greatly concerned that the Netherlands is letting go of its international role.’
Steiner is in the Netherlands to meet politicians, business leaders and crown prince Willem-Alexander.
