On 9th April 2024 the European Court of Human Rights delivered Grand Chamber rulings in three cases relating to climate change:
Carême v. France – https://hudoc.echr.coe.int/eng?i=001-233261
Duarte Agostinho and Others v. Portugal and 32 Others – https://hudoc.echr.coe.int/eng?i=001-233174
Verein KlimaSeniorinnen Schweiz and Others v. Switzerland – https://hudoc.echr.coe.int/eng?i=001-233206
In this video, Dr Stefan Theil discusses the extent to which the ECHR is prepared to dictate how countries might implement their own climate change policies.
Stefan Theil is Assistant Professor in Public Law and a Fellow and Director of Studies at Sidney Sussex College. In Stefan’s recent book ‘Towards the Environmental Minimum’ (Cambridge University Press, 2021) he argues for the recognition of a comprehensive framework that addresses the relationship between human rights and environmental harm.
