UK village Hemsby Beach in Norfolk sues UK government for insufficient climate change action, risking 1,000 homes and businesses by 2105.
Hemsby Beach, a UK village in Norfolk, is embroiled in a legal battle against the UK government, accusing it of insufficient action against climate change. Kevin Jordan, a former engineer, is among those fighting the case, after losing his home to coastal erosion. Friends of the Earth, a climate activist group, is spearheading the legal challenge, as research suggests that if the coastline, one of the worst-affected areas in northwest Europe, is not protected, nearly 1,000 homes and businesses will be lost by 2105.
