Australia's highest court ruled against a massive coal mine expansion on Wednesday, delivering judgement in what campaigners say is the first climate ruling from the nation's top judicial body.

The High Court of Australia found that a local planning department "failed to consider" ways to limit planet-heating emissions from the mine, halting the planned expansion.
