On 20 June 2024, the UK Supreme Court Ruled that ALL Fossil Fuel Projects Must Be Assessed for Future Impact.
This ruling reflects a broader trend of courts across the world. That trend being that the courts are not just looking at the environmental impact of developing the project, but also the long-term environmental impact that the project, once completed, will create.
In other words – If built, will the project do more long-term harm than good? And, is there a better way to achieve the goal?
What does this mean for you?
- It will be harder for UK fossil fuel projects to be built
- It will move UK focus and financing to alternative energy projects
- It will impact UK sources and uses of energy
- It will influence global energy financiers beyond the UK market
- It will influence global governments and courts outside the UK market
