Is it time for the UK to leave the Aarhus Convention?

The political challenge for the government, committed to the rule of law, to grow the economy, and in the face of global warming, is clear: either act in breach of the Convention or leave it. However, the Convention enshrines environmental rights, and the government is simultaneously committed to its 2050 Net Zero Strategy. The rise in support for the Green Party, which has publicly stated that its membership now exceeds the Conservatives, will not be lost on the government either.
