<P class=p2><SPAN class=s1>Six young people from Portugal have filed a
ground-breaking climate case against 33 countries with the European Court
of Human Rights. The four children and two young adults are from some of
the worst-hit areas of Portugal, plagued by wildfires and extreme heat
waves that are bound to get worse. The case centres on the rising threat
which climate change poses to their lives and to their physical and mental
wellbeing. If successful, the EU, the UK, Switzerland, Norway, Russia,
Turkey and Ukraine would be legally bound, not only to ramp up emissions
cuts, but also to tackle overseas contributions to climate change,
including those of their multinational companies.</SPAN></P>
<P class=p2><SPAN class=s1>Catarina Mota, one of the young adults behind
the case, said: “It terrifies me to know that the record-breaking
heatwaves we have endured are only just the beginning. With so little time
left to stop this, we must do everything we can to force governments to
properly protect us. This is why I’m bringing this case.”</SPAN></P>
