｜European Court Rules Governments Must Prevent Global Warming or Risk Human Rights Violations
The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) ruled that the Swiss government's failure to take adequate action to prevent extreme climate events infringed upon the basic human rights of its citizens and families. It demands enhanced carbon reduction efforts to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement and a resetting of carbon emission targets for 2030. Over 2,000 elderly women filed a lawsuit last year, citing health and survival risks from heatwaves and alleging the Swiss government's failure to mitigate global warming constituted a violation of their rights. After a year-long legal battle, they emerged victorious. Non-governmental organization Avaaz welcomed the verdict as a legal blueprint for citizens to hold governments accountable on climate issues.

｜Greek Government Adjusts Energy Goals
The Greek government is assessing the economic, fiscal, and household burdens of meeting the European Union's green transition targets and leans towards maintaining goals below the EU's. The Council of Ministers rejected a proposal to reduce carbon emissions by 90% by 2040, as achieving the national energy and climate plan targets is expected to limit the average growth rate over the next 25 years to 0.6%. The Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Center has been tasked with redefining goals to ensure economic growth rates reach 1.2% by 2050.
