A Dutch court has ordered the government to cut greenhouse gas emissions by at least 25% by 2020, in a case environmentalists hope will set a precedent for other countries.
Climate change campaigners brought the case on behalf of almost 900 Dutch citizens.
They argued the government had a duty to protect its citizens from the looming dangers of climate change. Greenpeace has called it a "landmark case".
