UK's Carbon Budget Delivery Plan Deemed Unlawful
The UK's High Court judge has labeled the government's carbon budget delivery plan as inadequate and unlawful for not being able to effectively limit greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Despite setting targets to cap emissions every 5 years, the court has ruled the plan incapable of achieving its goals, highlighting a recurring issue. This failure could lead to severe consequences, such as extreme heat waves and climate chaos, affecting a significant portion of the global population, especially in low and middle-income countries.
