Australian court says government has a duty of care to protect children from harm caused by climate change
A court ruled that the Australian environment minister has a duty of care to protect children from future person injury due to climate change.
In New South Wales, Australia, attempts by a group of children who sought an injunction against Environment Minister Sussan Ley approving a Vickery coal mine extension project, which would result in 100 million additional tons of carbon emissions were not successful.
