Legal Cases. More and more climate-related legal cases are going to Court, brought by organizations such as Client Earth and Good Law project, as well as by some smaller groups and individuals. Following the successful case of the Swiss Grandmothers in 2024, and, before that, Dutch Urgenda 2019, other groups are taking the law into their own hands, but in the usual sense of the word. Mums for Lungs (www.mumsforlungs.org) are now going to Court because of the damage done to their children by breathing in car fumes (car sales, by the way, form part of basis for measuring Gross National Product). Read more about the case here. Air pollution is with us; climate change is a public health issue.
On our website (www.ourgrandchildrensclimate.org) we now have a section called JUST ONE THING (the title is taken from the late Michael Mosley’s hugely popular programmes on looking after our health), which focuses on one action we can all take to improve the climate. This month we’re looking at BANKING. See how your own bank is doing, compared with others: Click here. Also, here are some suggestions about alternative banks, and how to switch to them.
