After the Swedish Supreme Court dismissed their initial climate lawsuit, activists, including Greta Thunberg, are strategizing to reformulate their case against the state for climate inaction. The court previously ruled the lawsuit inadmissible due to stringent requirements for individuals. In response, Aurora, representing the activists, plans to switch the plaintiff to an association to meet legal standards. Both the Swedish Climate Policy Council and the Environmental Protection Agency have criticized the right-wing government's policies for failing to meet climate goals. Aurora asserts its determination to challenge the government's obligations regarding emissions reductions.
"If rich, high-emitting, resourceful powers like the Swedish state act immediately to fundamentally change our economic systems, we have a chance to get out of these planetary crises and build a sustainable and just world."
"One way or another, Aurora is continuing to bring the issue of the Swedish state's legal obligations in the climate crisis to Swedish courts."
