Poland failed to overturn seven major European Union climate laws Thursday, with the bloc’s top court rejecting challenges to measures including the 2035 target for zero-emission cars and carbon pricing for heating and transport. The rulings by the Court of Justice of the EU uphold key parts of the EU’s Green Deal and bring to a close a legal campaign launched by Poland’s previous nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) government. Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s pro-EU administration kept the campaign alive by deciding not to withdraw the lawsuits. Poland argued that the laws would fundamentally reshape its coal-dependent energy system and therefore required unanimous approval by EU governments, effectively giving Poland a veto.
