New Heathrow runway ruled illegal over climate change
By EUobserver
A UK court on Thursday decided that plans for a third runway at Heathrow airport in London are illegal as ministers did not take into consideration the government's commitment to fight climate change. "The UK court reminds the world that decision-makers need to take their climate obligations seriously or [they] risk being taken to court," said the NGO Friends of the Earth director Jagoda Munic.
