There’s no excuse for Europe having the only regional human rights system in the world that fails to recognize the right to a healthy environment
All Council of Europe states voted in favour of the UN resolution recognizing this right in 2022
The time is now!

📢 🔜 ⚖ 🇪🇺 Several upcoming webinars unpacking key lessons from landmark judgments of the European Court of #HumanRights in #ClimateJustice cases (including the history-making judicial victory in the @KlimaSeniorinnen v. 🇨🇭 Switzerland case):
🧵A short thread with key dates⬇️

[ECHR CEDH @ECHR_CEDH]

Judgment Verein KlimaSeniorinnen Schweiz and Others v. Switzerland - Violations of the Convention for failing to implement sufficient measures to combat climate change

[🕊 Seb Duyck - @duycks.bsky.social 🌍⚖️ @duycks]

5⃣The Court then lays out a 5-prone test to assess whether a State's climate policies complies with obligations under the ECHR: States must:
🔹specify a target timeline for achieving carbon neutrality
🔸 set out intermediate GHG emissions reduction targets and pathways

[🕊 Seb Duyck - @duycks.bsky.social 🌍⚖️ @duycks]

🗣️Now turning to today's decision!
Citing level of scientific evidence, severity of consequences, irreversibility of impacts & global nature of phenomenon, the Court finds that climate protection should carry considerable weight in the weighing-up of any competing considerations.

[🕊 Seb Duyck - @duycks.bsky.social 🌍⚖️ @duycks]

⚡️⚖️a few snapshots from the landmark #ClimateJustice decision delivered today by the 🇪🇺European Court of Human Rights in Klimaseniorinnen v. 🇨🇭Switzerland

[ENNHRI @ennhri]

Today's European Court of Human Rights' judgment in the climate case KlimaSeniorinnen v. Switzerland is historic.
It's a huge step in ensuring effective protection of #HumanRights against climate harms.

Congratulations to Elisa! She is a wonderful choice for this crucial mandate!

[Victoria Lichet @VictoriaLichet]

Brilliant choice by the @UN_HRC!!

And the mandate was renewed with a new title: Special Rapporteur on the right to a clean healthy & sustainable environment, thus reflecting resolutions of the HRC & UNGA recognizing this right as a universal HR.

Congratulations @astridpuentes!!
