Carney government dealt an early blow in climate litigation
Reported byCBC Technology & Science ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Federal Justice Patrick Gleeson refused to strike down a climate lawsuit brought by three young people and two environmental groups against Canada's federal government, ruling that the lawsuit should proceed to a full hearing. The youth are seeking a court order requiring the government to update its climate plan under the Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act after key measures were eliminated since the plan's 2022 launch.
The case is still pending; this is a procedural ruling allowing the case to advance, not a final judgment on the merits.
