5 Poles sue government seeking faster steps on gas emissions Associated Press Text size Copy shortlink: WARSAW, Poland — A Polish environmental group says five members of the public are separately taking the government to court this month, to demand faster steps to reduce Poland's greenhouse gas emissions and meet European climate goals. In a statement released Thursday through the ClientEarth nongovernmental foundation, the five Poles claim the inaction of successive Polish governments on climate change is harming their health and may have negative effects on their children. The statement said the plaintiffs want Poland to vow climate neutrality by 2043 and to reduce its CO2 emissions by 60% by the year 2030, compared to 1990 levels.
