  1. Hopefully it sets a precedent for other countries. However, Switzerland compared on a global scale to countries like China, India, Russia and US will most probably be a drop in very large ocean.

    Not sure if they are some kind of comedy troupe, but living in Switzerland and thinking your life is endangered by climate change. If they came from a country severely suffering from droughts and famine etc. it’d make sense. Curious how the ECHR sees that, one can only accept what they judge but must not necessarily agree.
