On Nov. 25, the Land Court of Queensland rendered judgement in Waratah Coal Pty Ltd v Youth Verdict Ltd and blocked Waratah Coal’s thermal coal project on the grounds of climate change and human rights concerns. This 372-page judgement is important because it considers the alleged effects of the exportation of coal on climate change in the importing countries.
