Emmanuel Macron’s government has been ordered to take much more decisive action to meet its climate targets – or face being fined.
The unprecedented injunction handed down on Thursday by the country’s highest administrative court means the government, which cannot appeal the ruling, is legally bound to do all it can to cut emissions before the end of March next year.
The case dates back to February 2019, when Grande-Synthe, a suburb of Dunkirk in northern France, alongside Oxfam, Greenpeace and the climate campaign group Notre Affaire à Tous, began legal action against the government for not meeting its national, European and international climate commitments. The coastal town is particularly vulnerable to rising sea levels caused by a warming world.
