Urgenda: the Final Judgment of the Dutch Supreme Court.

The final verdict to the Urgenda case provided by the Dutch Supreme Court has been called a victory in the fight to limit climate change and a milestone in public interest litigation, at least in the Netherlands. As a consequence, the Dutch state will have to reduce GHG-emissions by 25% compared with 1990 at the end of 2020.
