the i'm so glad will welcome to the program. 6 young people from portugal, assuming all of the countries of the you are paying the union and several others out there. you are in quotes of human rights and accusing moving 13 nations on the in you itself or inaction on the climate crisis. and so violating some of that fundamental rights have been similar cases around the world on a be general on national level. but this is the 1st involving numerous countries at the same time. yeah, to this message, pauses in strasburg, whether hearing open today, go to the 2017 buyers group, the country burning homes and raising entire communities. more than 100 people were killed in the blazes, which side to say were made worse by human made climate change,
2:02 pm
which seems like those were what motivated succeeds in portugal to sue 32 nations for violating their human rights of when i realized right. so being violated because of climate change, i thought this is going to fall. there was my the groups lawyers intend to argue that the climate crisis direct was better clients rights to life privacy and to be free from age discrimination. they say the you, norway, switzerland, the united kingdom, russia and turkey are violating those rights through their in action on the climate crisis. they were hoping pressure from judges at the european court of human rights will compel countries to set higher emissions targets and cut the production and use. so fossil fuels, goose bed. what i expect from governments is that the take climate action for something that is real. this is a main problem because it's infringing on our human rights to months. the active,
2:03 pm
it's hope, the case will inspire other young people to raise their voices and forced governments and companies to listen. last correspondent rosie, but child how this case is likely to proceed. or dozens of lawyers in the court room as the european court of human rights starts to hear the legal arguments in the 4 days where the a landmark case brought by these young people age between 11 and 24 and supported by the non profit group. the global legal action network. now these young people are coming to court with arguments outside what they say is a risk to their health. promoting prompted by climate change because they say wildfires in portugal they argue are directly caused by climate change. they're talking about risks to their health, for example, they've brought arguments. if i were to be retreat illnesses about disruption to their sleep. and they say that this is impacting on their right to life, which has been trained in the european convention on human rights. but they're also
2:04 pm
bringing in arguments about discrimination because they say, as children and young people, very generation is particularly affected by the impacts of climate change. or after this hearing judges, i think you're being court of human rights will deliberate. we don't have an exact time late on when they will come to a decision, but it's likely or expected, at least that could be sometime in the 1st half of 2024. and what is at stake for the e u, and for the 30, all governments involved as well. if the court sites with the complainants with these young people, the countries involved could be mandated. court ordered to rapidly accelerate their progress towards slashing emissions. but there is quite a lot of legal hurdles to jump before guessing they're the countries involved have been arguing not only that they are taking. ready action against climate change, but also they're bringing a lot of technical legal arguments. for example, if i, whether or not the court has the appropriate or right jurisdiction to actually hear
