Landmark Ruling by European Court of Human Rights on Climate Change

Climate law experts are already calling it one of the most impactful rulings on human rights and climate change ever made. Today’s judgment, from the European Court of Human Rights , was read out in front of an eclectic gathering of concerned plaintiffs from around the continent.

In this case, the court did not accept complaints from individuals within the group, but it did accept complaints made by the group itself as an organization—a distinction that could influence how people collectivize and approach European courts with similar cases in the future, says Heri. She adds that there was a possibility the court could have ruled that the European Convention on Human Rights doesn’t actually require climate action.
