Activists from the group RAP are celebrating after the French government was compelled to publish the implementing decree banning advertising for fossil fuels. The Council of State, France's highest administrative court, pressured the executive into finally enacting the measure. Supporters say the episode shows citizen mobilisation and litigation can force the government to honour its own climate commitments.
Why now: The government's publication of the long-blocked decree is seen as a victory for climate activists applying legal pressure.
