Scott, Nick Narulla, Harj Young, Nicholas Burger, Michael van Asselt, Harro Wentz, Jessica Tigre, Maria Antonia eng 2026-05-11 electronic resource text/html ddc:342 Verfassungsblog Verfassungsblog--2366-7044 CC BY-SA 4.0 In May, the High Court of Australia (HCA) will hear MACH Energy Australia v Denman Aberdeen Muswellbrook Scone Healthy Environment Group & Anor (“Denman”), the first climate case to reach Australia’s apex court. The case adds to a growing body of climate jurisprudence in which courts consider whether and how climate impacts must be integrated into environmental impact assessments. However, the Denman case raises a further question: whether the GHG emissions associated with a coal mine can be understood as being likely to cause climate and environmental impacts in a particular “locality”.
