Quick Glance: Switzerland: Condemnation by ECHR Signifies 'Historic' Step
- For the first time, an international court has ruled on the harmful effects of climate change, establishing a direct link with quality of life, health, and well-being.
- The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) condemned Switzerland on April 9, 2024, for climate inaction, stating that the country had not taken sufficient measures to protect its citizens from the effects of climate disruption.
- Described as 'historic' by observers, the ruling is expected to set a precedent in the 46 member states of the Council of Europe, increasing pressure on governments to intensify their actions.
- The Senior Women for Climate Protection, who have been fighting since 2016 to prove that heatwaves exacerbate their health problems and that Swiss climate policy is 'insufficient' to contain global warming to 1.5°C, expressed great pride in the Court recognizing their fundamental rights to a healthy climate for the first time.
