I’m thrilled to announce that among just a few admitted parties, I, together with twelve academics at Uni Bern, was admitted to submit a Third-Party Intervention (amicus curiae brief) in the KlimaSeniorinnen case to the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR). Our brief, which is publicly available, supplied independent scientific evidence on climate-change related risks of older women in Switzerland, and translated those into legal language and advice. We talked abut this novel form of academic output, and six lessons we drew from it, in our recent article in Nature.
