On Tuesday, April 9th, marks a pivotal moment in addressing climate responsibility. The European Court of Human Rights, a key component of the 46-member Council of Europe, is set to determine if governments' climate protection measures breach the European Convention on Human Rights, which it oversees. This historic ruling will mark the court's inaugural decision on matters concerning climate change.
