On 20 December 2019, the Dutch Supreme Court handed down a historic judgment in respect of states obligations to reduce carbon emissions and prevent climate change. The Court in the Hague upheld the previous decisions in the Urgenda Climate Case, originally lodged in 2015, to the effect that the Dutch government’s human rights obligations required it to urgently and significantly reduce emissions. HRiP is honoured to have advised Urgenda in this case, which is likely to have significant repercussions for climate justice globally.
