Government suffers defeat in High Court over climate plans

The government has been defeated in court - for a second time - for not doing enough to meet its targets for cutting greenhouse gas emissions.

Environmental campaigners argued that the energy minister signed off the government’s climate plan without evidence it could be achieved.

The High Court ruled on Friday that the government will now be required to redraft the plan again.

The government has been approached for comment.
