A Hopeful Tipping Point: The Legal Win That Could Stop New Fossil Fuels.

Sarah Finch's Supreme Court victory now forces every new fossil fuel project in the UK to face its real climate cost and could reshape environmental law worldwide.

When an oil site was approved near her home, Sarah Finch didn’t just protest, she took her fight to the UK Supreme Court. And won.

In this powerful episode, Sarah joins Nafkote Dabi and Max Lawson to share the story behind her five-year legal battle that changed everything: a ruling that now forces every new fossil fuel project in Britain to confront its true climate impact.

It’s a landmark victory that could ripple far beyond the UK and a reminder that determined voices can turn the tide on Big Oil.
