📅 1 July 2021 📍 France

France’s highest administrative court ordered the government to take additional measures to meet its emissions-reduction target after a challenge brought by the coastal town of Grande-Synthe. The ruling followed pressure from local authorities and climate groups facing sea-level rise and worsening climate risks. It made the state’s climate commitments legally reviewable, while implementation depended on subsequent government action and further court oversight.
