"Netherlands Ordered To Cut Greenhouse Gas Emissions" [1]

"A Dutch court has ordered the government to cut greenhouse gas emissions by at least 25% by 2020, in a case environmentalists hope will set a precedent for other countries.

Campaigners brought the case on behalf of almost 900 Dutch citizens.

They argued the government had a legal obligation to protect its citizens from the dangers of climate change."

BBC News had the story June 24, 2015. [2]
