New Publication by APCEL’s Academic Fellow, Justin Lim

APCEL’s Academic Fellow, Justin Lim, has recently published an article in the Journal of Environmental Law (JEL) examining the High Court’s decision in Friends of the Earth (No. 3). His piece analyses the interpretation of section 58 of the Climate Change Act 2008, which requires the government to set out objectives, proposals, and policies for adapting to climate change. Building on the earlier Friends of the Earth (Nos. 1 and 2) decisions that found the government’s Net Zero Strategy and Carbon Budget Delivery Plan declared unlawful. Justin’s publication offers insights into the legal accountability of climate governance and the evolving role of statutory obligations in driving environmental policy.
