dc.description.abstract

In Verein KlimaSeniorinnen Schweiz and Others v. Switzerland, the European Court of Human Rights issued its first climate-change-related decision. In a near-unanimous decision, the Grand Chamber of the Court found that Switzerland had breached its obligations under the European Convention on Human Rights. It held that the Alpine state must review and amend its climate change policies accordingly. In this case note, we highlight the key points of the judgment and comment briefly on certain points.
