THE HAGUE, Jan 28 (Reuters) – A Dutch district court on Wednesday ruled that the state must set binding greenhouse gas emissions targets to reach net zero by 2050 to protect the Dutch-Caribbean island of Bonaire.
Legal experts say the case, brought by environmental organisation Greenpeace on behalf of residents of the Dutch-Caribbean, is one of the first to test the obligations set in a landmark 2024 European climate ruling and last year’s World Court opinion on a national level.
