🌍 Great news from Naturvernforbundet on their partial victory in the Fjord lawsuit! The EFTA Court recently ruled that economic benefits alone cannot justify environmental harm, strengthening the case against dumping mining waste in Norway’s Førdefjorden. In other words, income for employees, owners, and the public cannot be considered an "overriding public interest." 🚨 Nordic Mining had planned to dispose of 250 million tons of waste into the fjord over 50 years. This is a move strongly opposed by environmental groups, who argue it would devastate marine life and violate environmental laws. ⚖️ This ruling will play a key role in the upcoming appeal hearing in June 2025, where environmental organisations will seek to overturn previous court decisions allowing the project. A victory could halt the waste dumping and set a precedent for stronger environmental protections across Europe!

Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) play a crucial role in supporting communities facing environmental and social challenges like the one in Kisbér. When institutions fail to respond to citizens' complaints, NGOs such as Magyar Természetvédők Szövetsége- Föld Barátai Magyarország help local residents organise, seek legal protection, and continue their fight for their rights. Their support is often essential in raising awareness, providing legal advice, and pressuring authorities to ensure sustainable and fair solutions for communities affected by industrial pollution.

🌍 The Council of Europe’s committee of ministers decided that Switzerland was not doing enough to respect a decision last year by the European court of human rights that it must do more to cut its greenhouse gas emissions and rejected the government’s plea to close the case.

🌍 Milieudefensie / Friends of the Earth Netherlands is set to escalate its legal battle against British multinational oil and gas company Shell to the Netherlands’ Supreme Court. The environmental group is demanding a clearly defined carbon reduction target for the company and its products, arguing that without such a mandate, Shell will not take meaningful action to curb emissions. 💨 🏛️ The Supreme Court's decision in this case could set a significant precedent for corporate climate accountability in the Netherlands and beyond.
