Swiss Parliament Rejects European Court's Climate Ruling

Lawmakers argue national strategies are sufficient, defying a landmark human rights judgment on climate policy.

Swiss parliament dismisses ECHR ruling that found inadequate climate policies violate citizens' rights.
The decision has sparked fears of a precedent for other countries to ignore international human rights obligations.
Climate activists, particularly older women, express betrayal and concern over the ruling's implications.
Right-wing politicians criticize the ECHR's involvement, while environmentalists decry the rejection as populist.
The Swiss government will make the final decision on compliance with the court's ruling in August.
