London's High Court has declared the UK government's new climate action plan unlawful, in a momentous ruling. The landmark judgment came after a legal challenge by environmental groups including Friends of the Earth, ClientEarth, and the Good Law Project, who argued that the plan was inadequate for meeting the country's emissions targets. The court criticized the plan, signed off by Grant Shapps under Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's administration, for lacking sufficient evidence to achieve its net zero goals. Despite the ruling, Prime Minister Sunak expressed pride in the government's climate track record. The government is now required to revise the plan.
