Trop Chaud – Klimaseniorinnen vs. Switzerland
The spectre of climate change is haunting us. Why can’t we find answers to the greatest challenge of our time? Trop Chaud, a courtroom thriller from the European Court of Human Rights, clarifies matters.
The Swiss KlimaSeniorinnen (senior women against climate change) are fighting on the front line. Instead of retiring, these elderly women from the civil society in all parts of multilingual Switzerland want to do something about the increasingly frequent heat waves. They bravely take on their own country and file a complaint with the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) against the Swiss government, claiming that it is not doing enough to protect their health. It is a seemingly hopeless undertaking that, after eight years of fighting, culminates in a spectacular ruling that attracts worldwide attention. On 9 April 2024, the ECHR rules that climate protection is a human right. A triumph for the Swiss KlimaSeniorinnen. But Switzerland chooses not to implement the landmark ruling.
