What are these climate cases?
@KlimaSeniorin, @DamienCAREME & @Y4CJ_ are calling on the court to hold States accountable for not doing enough to protect their citizens from the impacts of climate change.

These are unprecedented hearings because the European Court of Human Rights will
👉 Address the duty of states to reduce greenhouse gas emissions,
👉 Clarify the link between #HumanRights and the climate crisis,
👉 Clarify States' obligations to #ActOnClimate.

Today’hearings are a pivotal moment in the fight against the #ClimateCrisis.

But mostly these hearings "have the potential to set an influential legal precedent that would further confirm that States must take more adequate action against #ClimateChange as a matter of their human rights obligations" — CIEL's @duycks.
And if these 2 hearings are not enough…This afternoon, in New York, the @UN General Assembly will vote on a crucial resolution led by Vanuatu & supported by over 120 states on #ClimateJustice.
