Swiss climate policy fails to meet Human Rights Court mandates, prompting calls for action from elderly climate advocates.

Switzerland's climate policy is not radical enough to comply with a ruling in the European Court of Human Rights, which deems that the country is violating the human rights of 2000 elderly women. The ruling came after a lawsuit by KlimaSeniorinnen, a climate change organization of 2000 elderly Swiss women demanding less carbon emissions. The women claim their “human rights” are being violated because they are particularly vulnerable to heatwaves caused by climate change. The case is considered historic as the first in which the European Court of Human Rights ruled that so-called climate action is a human right. Despite this, there has been resistance within Switzerland. The government has previously treated the ruling as politically correct nonsense. Instead of presenting an action plan, as required by the court, the government sent a report in October stating that the ruling does not prescribe specific carbon dioxide emissions and that there is no internationally recognized method for determining them. The Council of Europe now recognizes that Switzerland has taken some legislative measures, but calls on the country to demonstrate how its “climate strategy” is in line with the court's requirements - for example, through a carbon budget or other clear limitation of emissions. The government has been asked to provide concrete examples of how “citizens have been allowed to be involved in shaping climate policy” and what adaptation measures are planned to protect vulnerable groups in the event of extreme weather.
