The details of Hungarian government's eight-point climate strategy, initially announced by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán this past Sunday in his State of the Nation address, were released by the Hungarian Minister of Information and Technology on Wednesday.

"To put it bluntly, protecting the climate and nature is truly our Christian and patriotic duty," Orbán said in that speech. "Climate protection has become a political fashion, and a lot of empty talk is tarnishing the gravity of the matter. If we truly fear for our land, our natural environment and our climate, then it is time to act and not simply talk."

Hungary has agreed to go carbon-neutral by 2050, along with most other EU member states, but the tasks and costs of such an effort are expected to be enormous.
