Activists argued that the strategy lacked details on how emissions will be cut
The legal challenge was brought by environmental groups Friends of the Earth, ClientEarth, Good Law Project and environmental campaigner Jo Wheatley.
The challengers had noted that only 95% of the emissions cuts laid out in the government's most recent 'carbon budget', set last June, were accounted for. He also said that the report delivered to Parliament didn't reveal that there was a shortfall in the reduction in emissions or say how that shortfall would be met and asked for a fresh report to be presented to lawmakers before the end of March.
