WorldAustralia’s top court rules against coal mine expansion over climate harm

Australia’s High Court has ordered the expansion of the Mount Pleasant coal mine in New South Wales to be halted, finding that planning authorities failed to require greenhouse-gas emissions to be minimised as far as practicable. Campaigners called the decision a binding national precedent requiring climate damage to be considered in fossil-fuel approvals. Mach Energy said it was disappointed but accepted the ruling.
