European Court Of Human Rights,Climate Change,Greenhouse Gas Emissions

The European Court of Human Rights has dismissed cases brought by Portuguese youths and a French mayor seeking to compel countries to meet their obligations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, the court sided with a group of senior Swiss women who also sought measures to combat climate change.

STRASBOURG, France — 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.

Although activists have had successes with lawsuits in domestic proceedings, this was the first time an international court ruled on climate change. The European Union, which doesn’t include Switzerland, currently has a target to be climate-neutral by 2050. Many governments have said that meeting a 2030 goal would be economically unattainable.

Such considerations were not predominantly on the mind of 16-year-old André dos Santos Oliveira of Portugal.
