La plainte administrative, inédite dans ce pays nordique, a été déposée en novembre 2022. Elle visait à obliger l’Etat à « faire sa part dans la lutte mondiale » pour limiter le réchauffement climatique à 1,5 °C par rapport aux niveaux préindustriels.
The Swedish Supreme Court dismissed a lawsuit by 300 young people, including Greta Thunberg, against the government for climate inaction. The court stated it couldn't order specific government actions, as such decisions are political. However, it allowed for future lawsuits if structured differently, especially by qualifying associations. This case follows similar legal challenges against governments in Europe for inadequate climate action.
