The European Court of Human Rights is set to rule on whether EU governments' climate change policies are breaching the European Convention on Human Rights, marking the first time the court will address this.
Cases against European states, treated as priority by the Grand Chamber, aim to recognize the right to a stable climate, potentially shaping new legal rights.
The court's decision could be a turning point for the fight for a sustainable future, with implications comparable to the Paris Agreement.
Existing rulings based on the Convention's Article 8 may indicate a precedent for the Court to uphold the obligation of States to ensure a healthy environment.
