The European Court of Human Rights on Friday dismissed an attempt by 33 defendant governments to challenge the accelerated status of a climate change case brought against them by six Portuguese youth activists. The activists claim that the countries signed the 2015 Paris Agreement but have failed to “comply with their commitments in order to limit climate change” after Portugal experienced its highest July temperatures in 90 years. Due to the “urgency” of the subject matter, the court granted the case a rare priority status in November.
The youth activists, ages eight to 21, are represented by human rights barristers under the advice of the Global Legal Action Network (GLAN). According to the barristers, the countries “must take responsibility for emissions relating to: fossil fuels which they export, the production of goods which they import from abroad, and the overseas activities of multinationals headquartered within their jurisdictions.

LISBON, Portugal (AP) A top European court is forcing 33 governments to prove they are cutting emissions in line with the requirements of the 2015 Paris climate accord.
The European Court of Human Rights has also rejected an attempt by those governments in the same case to overturn its decision to fast-track an ambitious climate change action brought by six young Portuguese activists.
The activists allege that the countries’ efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions are inadequate.
The governments had asked the court to drop its priority status for the case and hear their argument that the case is inadmissible, the activists’ legal representatives said in a statement Friday.
