This article analyzes the legal rationale behind the key judgments in the Urgenda climate case, including the initial verdict, appeal, and Netherlands’ Supreme Court ruling, exploring the pivotal aspects that sparked debates. By shedding light on these dynamics, some years after the final judgment, the study aims to provide insights relevant to current
discussions on climate change mitigation strategies, legal obligations, and the need for multidimensional approaches.
