Swiss Senior Women for Climate Protection v. Swiss Federal Council

IPCC research shows that adult women are a vulnerable group that suffer an increased risk for premature death and other health problems due to extreme heat waves. For this reason, the lawsuit justified the need to safeguard the human rights of this most vulnerable sector, and that women have an interest worthy of protection. The plaintiffs also pointed out that the acts and omissions of the authorities have violated their constitutional rights and those consecrated in the European Convention on Human Rights. And therefore they demand that Switzerland complies with reducing its emissions, and that it generate internal actions to guarantee that it is complied with so that their rights are protected.
