Why climate NGOs are taking the EU commission to court

Yesterday and today two NGO groups announced the launch of two climate lawsuits against the EU Commission, challenging both the EU’s taxonomy framework and its 2030 carbon emission targets.

These legal actions are part of a growing global movement where activists are holding governments accountable for their environmental pledges.

In this episode, host Giada Santana and Energy & Environment Editor Donagh Cagney examine the vulnerabilities in the EU’s Green Deal and discuss how recent climate litigations may reshape its future. The discussion features insights from Climate Action Network Europe spokesperson Romain Didi and LSE Policy Fellow Catherine Higham.
