Résumé
In 2006 the High Court of New Zealand ruled in favour of Greenpeace that climate change was a relevant consideration in their appeal against Mighty River Power's proposed Marsden B coal-fired power station.The decision means that any company applying for resources consent for climate polluting project can no longer ignore climate change and that renewable energy projects are now easier to get through the RMA process than coal or other fossil fuel project.
