Green Activists Challenge EU's Inadequate Climate Targets

European green activists, led by GLAN and CAN Europe, have taken legal action against the European Commission for failing to meet climate commitments. They are calling for increased EU climate targets for 2030 and challenging the 'sustainable' classification of investments in aviation and shipping.

While previous climate lawsuits have faced hurdles due to NGOs not being directly affected, activists are now focusing on systemic cases that can create legal precedents and have a greater impact. The EU's extensive climate legislation provides opportunities for civil society organizations to hold the Commission accountable.

Despite facing obstacles, NGOs are adapting their strategies and learning from past experiences to push for more ambitious climate action.
