Europe Climate Action

European Court Slams Switzerland For Climate Inaction | Vantage with Palki SharmaThe European Court of Human Rights has held the Swiss government responsible for violating human rights through its inaction on climate change. The case was brought by a group of elderly Swiss women who claimed the government’s policy had left them vulnerable to adverse effects of climate change. The verdict follows a similar one in India where the top court linked protection from climate change to fundamental human rights. UN data shows that the number of climate-related lawsuits has doubled from 2017 to 2022. Dozens of such lawsuits are filed every year in courts across the world. Experts believe litigation could become the next phase of green activism. But will it force government to make meaningful changes?
