Verein KlimaSeniorinnen Schweiz and Others v. Switzerland – Starting Point for the Future Climate Protection in Europe

In the Saar Brief, Dr. Julia Jungfleisch, LL.M., examines the much-noticed climate judgment of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) of April 9, 2024, and its significance for the future of climate protection in Europe. The author examines and refutes the main points of criticisms that the ECtHR overstepped its jurisdiction and that the judgment raised false and unrealistic hopes.
