European Court of Human Rights to decide if governments must protect citizens from climate change impacts.
The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) is set to rule whether governments must protect citizens from climate change. Judges will determine if citizens' rights have been violated due to inadequate measures against climate impact consequences. If the ruling is in favor of three cases, individuals could seek redress and compensation from their governments. The UK government opposes the move, claiming it turns ECHR into a legislator.
