Climate Activists Sue 32 European Countries, Including UK, Over Climate Change

Six young activists from Portugal are taking 32 European governments to the European Court of Human Rights, accusing them of violating their human rights by failing to adequately address climate change. This historic climate change case, the first of its kind filed with the court, could compel action to significantly reduce emissions and build cleaner infrastructure. The activists argue that inadequate climate change policies have impacted their daily lives, including their ability to sleep, concentrate, and play outside during heatwaves. The court's rulings are legally binding, and failure to comply could result in hefty fines for the governments involved.
