Courts worldwide are increasingly being asked to set limits on government support for fossil fuels to keep the public safe. In this blog I argue that State approval of new fossil fuel projects is incompatible with international law, and I examine what this means for upcoming cases. 1/3

Today, in the @bmj.com, @gaialisi.bsky.social and I set out how developments in scientific evidence on the health impacts of climate change could pave the way for climate cases to follow in the footsteps of successful litigation on environmental pollution.

The drop in CO2 uptake on land (LULUCF) in Finland and Sweden isn't without political consequence. Finland and Sweden now asking the EU for more flexibility. Norway has also made similar comments (but is not an EU member country). www.euronews.com/my-europe/20...

Swedish LULUCF is now about half what it was a decade ago

Finnish LULUCF has from a 30 MtCO2/yr sink to a 10MtCO2/yr source.

Out now: our new study shows that climate change caused nearly 1,700 heat-related deaths in Zürich over 50 years. We assessed the effects of changing vulnerability to heat, heat-mortality within and outside of heatwaves, and the contribution of individual companies' emissions to heat deaths.

Reports suggest that the EU Commission is considering, among other things, leaning on Article 6 carbon credits and carbon removals to reach a watered down 2040 climate target. Fabiola De Simone and Federica Dossi explain why that would be a reckless approach: carbonmarketwatch.org/2025/04/08/t...

🌳A Dutch court has ordered the government to cut nitrogen pollution in protected nature areas by 2030. Greenpeace Netherlands argued the government's failure to address critically high levels of nitrogen oxide pollution, mostly from farming and transport.

The ruling follows earlier verdicts that have highlighted the ineffectiveness of the government’s nitrogen-cutting policies.
