Important UK Supreme Court decision yesterday ruled that the greenhouse gases emitted from burning fossil fuels must be taken into account when assessing the impacts of a new extraction project. This will strengthen the case for #NoNewFossil fuel projects
Today's decision by the Supreme Court in the Finch case is genuinely historic. It marks a turning point towards more sensible planning-related decision-making in the UK, and crucially towards a safer climate. 🧵

In short, efforts to construct a #NoNewFossil norm have great potential to be a major step on the path to achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement! @uclspp @UCL_Energy @IISD_Energy, @IISD_News #FossilFuels #ClimateChange
