Top Europe rights court condemns Switzerland in landmark climate ruling

 STRASBOURG, France, April 9, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - Europe's top rights court on Tuesday ruled that Switzerland was not doing enough to tackle climate change, in its first such ruling against a state on the issue.

The European Court of Human Rights issued its decision after a Swiss association of older women concerned about the consequences of global warming argued that the Swiss authorities were not taking enough action to mitigate climate change.
