Swiss elderly women win landmark climate case against government

European rights court issues verdicts on three landmark climate cases

BRUSSELS (Reuters) – The European Court of Human Rights on Tuesday ruled in favour of a group of Swiss elderly women suing their government for alleged “woefully inadequate” efforts to fight climate change, agreeing that their government had violated some human rights by missing past emissions reduction targets.

The ruling cannot be appealed.
