Environmental Activists Sue Norway Over Its Deep-Sea Mining Plans
Norway’s parliament approved deep-sea mining, sparking environmentalists’ legal action over insufficient impact assessments. Deep-sea mining, crucial for tech and green energy, poses significant environmental risks. Climate litigation, a growing trend with over 2,180 cases by 2022, holds entities accountable for climate actions. Notable cases include successful lawsuits in Europe and Montana, USA, though not all succeed, highlighting increasing reliance on legal avenues to address climate change.
