Now, the French court acts. Environmental groups take France to court over climate change inaction as well.
The court action is backed by an online petition signed by more than 2 million people and is supported by other NGOs including the Nicolas Hulot Foundation, created by a former minister and renowned environmentalist who resigned from President Emmanuel Macron's government last summer over slow progress on climate change goals..

The good news in France is that a draft energy and climate law that was due to be presented to the cabinet this week has been postponed so that it can be reworked with more ambitious environmental goals.

This demonstrates how apppying pressure on Governments to act has positive albeit slow results.
