´óÏó´«Ã½

In this extra episode, Graihagh Jackson hears from our friends on ´óÏó´«Ã½ podcast The Global Story about a case that could change the history of climate activism.

For nearly a decade, a group of elderly women argued that Switzerland’s weak climate policies violated their human rights. Their victory – the first of its kind in the European Court of Human Rights – sets a precedent 46 countries must now follow. The ´óÏó´«Ã½'s climate reporter, Georgina Rannard, has been covering the case for years. She shares the women’s personal stories with presenter James Reynolds, while climate lawyer Sophie Marjanac explains what it could mean for those seeking climate justice everywhere.
