All three cases accuse European governments of inaction or insufficient action in their measures against global warming. "A victory in any of the three cases could constitute the most significant legal development on climate change for Europe since the signing of the Paris 2015 Agreement" that set new targets for governments to reduce emissions, he said.
They complain about"failings of the Swiss authorities" in terms of climate protection, which"would seriously harm their state of health". The third case was brought by a group of six Portuguese, aged 12 to 24, inspired to act after fires ravaged their country in 2017.
