La crisi climatica di fronte alla Corte europea dei diritti dell’uomo

To date, twelve high-profile legal cases related to climate change are pending before the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. This paper analyses the opportunities and challenges of using the European Court as a forum for climate change litigation. More specifically, after outlining the close connection between the climate crisis and human rights and recalling the environmental case law of the European Court, the research considers the conditions of admissibility and the issues on the merits to be assessed by the Court.
