Description

In this episode, we explore a groundbreaking legal case in Switzerland where the European Court of Human Rights addressed the intersection of climate change and human rights violations. 

We analyze the arguments presented in the case and the court's evaluation of their claims, highlighting the significance of establishing governmental accountability in climate policy. 

We also discuss the broader implications of the ruling for global climate justice and human rights protection, and offer insights into the actions governments, including Switzerland, must take to mitigate climate change and safeguard the rights of all citizens.

Our guest is Anne Saab, Associate Professor in International Law at the Geneva Graduate Institute.
