Scott, Nick Verfassungsblog 2026-05-11 Text txt rdacontent Computermedien c rdamedia Online-Ressource cr rdacarrier 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”.
