Landmark ruling of #ECHR:

The European Convention on Human Rights "encompasses a right to effective protection by the State authorities from the serious adverse effects of climate change".

The Swiss government "failed to comply with its duties", including its failure "to quantify, through a carbon budget or otherwise, national greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions limitations", and "to meet its past GHG emission reduction targets".

Climate protection is a human right!
