Europe’s highest human rights court has thrown out cases brought by six Portuguese youths and a French mayor aimed at forcing countries to meet international obligations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Nervous and excited,” said Claudia Agostinho, a 24-year-old who is one of the six Portuguese who brought the case to the Strasbourg court. The groups were confident that the 17 judges will rule in their favour, but the mixed decision could undermine a previous ruling in the Netherlands.
