International court rules Switzerland violated human rights in a landmark climate judgment
An international court in France on Tuesday ruled Switzerland’s failure to adequately tackle the climate crisis was in violation of human rights, in a landmark climate judgment that experts say could have a ripple effect across the globe.
Right...the land of no air conditioners and lowest car ownership in western Europe is the one not doing enough.
You realize that the court is not saying no one else is to blame right? This case was brought on by 2000 swiss women, they are suing their own country for failing to take action as a way to force the hands of their government.
Wait, we can do that?

Lowest car ownership in Western Europe? Do you have data to support that?
According to this Wikipedia article Switzerland has more cars per capita than the UK, Belgium, the Netherlands, Austria, and Ireland.
No single country on Earth is doing enough.
