Greta Thunberg and 600 young activists sue Sweden over climate ‘inaction’ – The National

Climate activist Greta Thunberg is among 600 young people suing the Swedish state over its alleged environmental “inaction”.

The lawsuit, which has been in the works for two years, is the biggest of its kind to date, activists said.

It urges a court to require that the government shoulder its “fair share” of the burden of keeping greenhouse gas emissions consistent with the Paris Agreement goal to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels.
