Valérie van den Berg and David Thorneloe tell us just how big the impact will be of last week’s European ruling that Swizterland’s failure to act on climate change violates citizens’ human rights. Will it spark a wave of new actions in Europe's national courts? Never miss a story, sign up for business law updates.
We examine the impact of this landmark ruling from the European Court of Human Rights, which is binding on all 46 signatories to the European Convention on Human Rights.

We explore how future challenges might be affected by this ruling.
