Norway sued over deep-sea mining plans

WWF says the government has breached the law without adequately assessing the consequences'

One of the world's biggest environmental groups is suing the Norwegian government for opening up its seabed for deep-sea mining, claiming that Norway has failed to properly investigate the consequences of this move.

WWF-Norway says the government's decision has breached Norwegian law, goes against the counsel of its own advisers, and sets a dangerous precedent".
