Woman who won legal case over greenhouse emissions awarded top environmental prize
Sarah Finch is among six recipients of the Goldman Environmental prize, awarded to honour grassroots activists around the world
The woman whose campaigning set a legal precedent in the UK that stopped thousands of tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions has been awarded one of the world’s most prestigious environmental prizes alongside five other women from around the globe.
A supreme court ruling in a case brought by Sarah Finch has been cited in decisions against new oil concessions in the North Sea, the UK’s first new deep coalmine for 30 years and even plans for new large-scale factory farms.
On Monday she was named as one of six recipients of the Goldman Environmental prize, awarded annually to honour the achievements and leadership of grassroots environmental activists from around the world.
