“For the first time, a court has confirmed that the Paris agreement temperature goal has binding effect.” “Its implications are global” theguardian.com/environment/…
Heathrow's third runway ruled illegal by Court of Appeal as ministers did not adequately take into account Government climate change commitments. The Court’s ruling is first in world based on the Paris Agreement and may impact other high carbon projects.
