Fascinating new ruling in the case of @greenpeace.nl vs Netherlands with the court holding that NL had not fulfilled its duty to adapt Bonaire to climate change & in so doing had discriminated against it, with the court drawing attention to the failure to plan to adapt Bonairean cultural heritage 1/
@s-starrenburg.bsky.socialGroundbreaking: the District Court in The Hague has just held that The Netherlands is in violation of articles 8 and 14 of the ECHR for failing to take (timely) climate mitigation and adaptation measures with respect to #Bonaire, in a case brought by #Greenpeace on behalf of the island's residents.
