"Swiss Climate Verdict: Women's Litigation Opens New Era for Net Zero"
The European Court of Human Rights has ruled against Switzerland, ordering the country to take action to combat climate change after finding that its inaction puts its citizens at risk. The ruling, which cannot be appealed, has sparked debate in Switzerland, where the political system, governed by popular referendums, may complicate reform efforts. The country's strong ties to the fossil fuel industry and its financial sector's involvement in climate-damaging transactions have also come under scrutiny, with calls for stricter regulation and changes in investment policies.
