Campaigners to take Tories to court over ‘threadbare’ net-zero strategy in February
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak delivers a speech on the plans for net-zero commitments in the briefing room at 10 Downing Street, London, September 20, 2023
CAMPAIGNERS will bring their legal challenge of the Tory government’s “threadbare” net-zero strategy to the High Court in February, three groups taking the action confirmed today.
The government published its revised plans to reduce carbon emissions earlier this year in response to a previous legal challenge from the Good Law Project (GLP), Friends of the Earth and ClientEarth on its original strategy.
The groups are now demanding the government details how it will meet carbon targets set at five-year intervals as required under the Climate Change Act 2008.
