Title Climate change is a human rights issue Degree of recognition International Media name/outlet The Conversation Media type Web Country/Territory Canada Date 20/05/24 Description In April, the European Court of Human Rights ruled in favour of a group of seniors who alleged that the Swiss government’s failure to meet climate change mitigation targets is having an adverse impact on their health, well-being and quality of life.
This landmark decision by the highest human rights court in Europe confirms not only that climate change is intimately linked to human rights, but effectively holds all European governments accountable to adopt more rigorous measures to combat climate change.URL https://theconversation.com/climate-change-is-a-human-rights-issue-228156 Persons David Kuan-Wei Chen, Hoda Asgarian
