安大略在青年气候审判之前不久就废除了气候目标,损害了案件的法律依据。 Ontario repealed climate targets just before a youth climate trial, undermining the case's legal basis.

在安大略省,省政府废除了作为案件核心的减排目标之后,在预定的听证会前几天,一项具有里程碑意义的青年气候诉讼暂时搁置。 A landmark youth climate lawsuit in Ontario is on hold after the provincial government repealed the emission-reduction targets that were central to the case, just days before a scheduled hearing. 7名年轻原告(现年18至19岁)认为,2018年气候目标的削弱侵犯了《宪章》赋予他们的权利,危及他们的健康和未来,导致大约2亿吨的碳排放量增加。 The seven young plaintiffs, now aged 18 to 19, had argued the 2018 weakening of climate targets violated their Charter rights by endangering their health and future, allowing an estimated 200 million additional tons of carbon emissions. 该案已经提交上诉法院,在最高法院拒绝审理后准备进行新的审判,现在由于法律基础已经取消,该案面临不确定性。 The case, which had reached the Court of Appeal and was set for a new trial after the Supreme Court declined to hear it, now faces uncertainty as the legal foundation has been removed. 首席律师称废除这项法案是一项避免问责的战略行动。 Lead counsel called the repeal a strategic move to avoid accountability. 生态正义为本案辩护的计划应该继续进行,而福特政府则列举了经济关切和目前对能源效率的投资。 Ecojustice plans to argue the case should proceed, while the Ford government cited economic concerns and ongoing investments in energy efficiency. 政府的行动突显气候行动的迫切性。 The youth plaintiffs, who have experienced worsening extreme weather, say the government’s actions underscore the urgency of climate action.
