Friends of the Earth, ClientEarth and Good Law Project to take government to court over inadequate climate action plans – again! https://www.clientearth.org/latest/press-office/press/uk-government-faces-fresh-legal-challenge-over-unlawful-climate-plans/?utm_source=net-zero2&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter
A legal challenge was successfully made last year that the Government’s net zero strategy was unlawful because it did not cut emissions sufficiently to meet its legally binding targets. The Government was required by the High Court to produce a revised strategy which they have done but it still falls short of the required reduction in emissions, and ignoring the advise of the Climate Change Committee. Hence the repeated legal challenge!
