A group of 2,000 elderly Swiss women, known as KlimaSeniorinnen Schweiz, won a landmark climate case against Switzerland at the European Court of Human Rights, which found the country's climate policies inadequate and in violation of the women's human rights. The ruling sets a precedent for European citizens and civil society groups to sue their countries for better climate policy and could influence other international bodies.
