Top EU rights court condemns Switzerland for climate inaction in first ruling of its kind
The EU's top rights court on Tuesday condemned Switzerland for violating the Convention on Human Rights through its inaction in the face of climate change in a landmark case brought by an association of elderly women. But the court rejected a similar claim against France filed by a former mayor and threw out as inadmissible a case against 32 states brought by a group of Portuguese youths.
