Friends of the Earth to appeal against Heathrow judgment

Campaigners argued a third runway was inconsistent with Paris climate agreement

Friends of the Earth has said it will appeal against the ruling by judges to dismiss five legal challenges to expansion at Heathrow airport, because the decision is "outdated in an ecological and climate emergency".

The campaign group mounted one of five judicial reviews challenging the legality of the government's verdict to allow a third runway at the airport.
