The ECHR didn't specify the final outcome but urged Switzerland to show greater commitment to climate issues. There has also been progress in Switzerland since the ruling.“Everything is moving, and that's a good thing,” said Berset.
Last April, the ECHR backed a complaint by the“Senior Women for Climate Protection” association . They sued in Strasbourg, arguing that Switzerland wasn't doing enough to protect older women from climate change. The ruling grabbed international headlines.
Berset said he would stay in Davos until Thursday morning, aiming to make as many contacts as possible. He wants to promote the values of the Council of Europe: democracy, rule of law and human rights.
