 Monday, Mr Justice Sir of the for England and Wales dismissed an application for legal review by campaigners for Transport Action Network (TAN) on the United Kingdom  government's Road Investment Strategy 2: 2020-2025  RIS 2  , announced March 11 last year, for an assessment into the plan's adherence to the and . The investment strategy of 27.4 billion over five years follows its predecessor, RIS 1, adopted December 1, 2014 for the period 2015-2020. RIS 2 consists of fifty schemes: 45 rolled-over from the previous plan which could not be completed in time, and five new schemes that would create or improve upon of the England strategic roads network. RIS 1 was written prior to  binding commitments, according to The Guardian. In a press release, the organisation said it is currently crowdfunding for an appeal to the ruling, which its director Chris Todd was quoted in a press release as "fail[ing] to grapple with the clear requirement created by Parliament that ministers must carefully consider environmental impacts". The ruling says "the evidence is plain" the UK "government is taking a range of steps to tackle the need for urgency in addressing carbon production in the transport sector" at a level emphasised by TAN. RIS 2 would support 64 thousand jobs in the construction industry and has been defended by chief executive of Jim O'Sullivan as "mak[ing] journeys faster and more reliable for freight and road users."  2015 DfT analysis of RIS 1 found the scheme would increase the projected rise in emissions by 2040 by between 0.1 and 0.2\%.  April 2020 analysis of RIS 2 found the five new schemes covered would amount to an estimated 0.016\% of emissions of the 2028-2032 carbon budget.
