Truly historic ruling that confirms governments and corporations have a legal duty to prevent further harm from fossil fuels, uphold the right to health, and safeguard future generations.

In 100 days the Government will deliver its climate plan - there's been a lot of talk, we need to start seeing some action - a clear plan and targets. And it needs to be bold. There's been way too much time wasted, this is a chance to really demonstrate action. Pleased to add my name to this letter.
