The European Court of Human Rights came down with decisions in a trio of cases seeking to force countries to meet climate goals.

Europe’s highest human rights court threw out cases Tuesday brought by six Portuguese youths and a French mayor aimed at forcing countries to meet international obligations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but sided with a group of senior Swiss women who also sought such measures.

The groups were confident that the 17 judges would rule in their favor, but the mixed decision could undermine a previous ruling in the Netherlands. In 2019, the Dutch Supreme Court ordered the government to cut emissions by at least 25% by the end of 2020 from benchmark 1990 levels.The Urgenda decision, referring to the climate group that brought the case, relied on the European Convention of Human Rights.
