The Netherlands vs. Urgenda

The well anticipated judgment of the Hague Court of Appeal in the case of The Netherlands vs. Urgenda has given right to Urgenda. The Netherlands must, based on its duty of care, ensure that national greenhouse gas emissions are reduced by at least 25% by 2020. This is a remarkable development. Bravo!
