The court of appeal in Canada’s most populous province ordered a new hearing on Thursday in a youth-led lawsuit claiming Ontario’s climate plan violates young people’s rights.

The ruling – which refuted the lower court’s finding that the case is not governed by Canada’s Charter – sends the case back to a lower court for another hearing meant to determine whether Ontario’s climate target violates their rights and whether to order the province to devise a new target.
