The Law That Could Make Climate Change Illegal

This week we are looking at an article on BBC's Future Planet.

Denmark is making dramatic steps toward keeping their government accountable for the targets that they have set for fighting climate change. This law essentially makes the lack of fighting against climate change illegal. It is one of the strongest laws of its kind in the world, because it avoids five big pitfalls of climate laws elsewhere.

The new Denmark law includes:

1. An enduring solution

2. Calculating the fair share of emission reduction needed for each country

3. Net zero goal

4. Tackling the issue globally

5. An all encompassing green lens

Hopefully Denmark can be an example to the world as the fight against climate change is becoming more and more important.
