Reading the European Court of Human Rights decisions related to climate change as compared to Inter-American pronouncements reveals that the former is more formalistic and less prone to protection than the Inter-American counterpart; whereas the latter has recognized an autonomous right to a healthy environment with eco-centric collective dimensions. Altogether, the European decisions do provide some litigation opportunities, but the comparison highlights their limits and those of human rights law when dealing with environmental matters.

Abstract
Reading the European Court of Human Rights decisions related to climate change as compared to Inter-American pronouncements reveals that the former is more formalistic and less prone to protection than the Inter-American counterpart; whereas the latter has recognized an autonomous right to a healthy environment with eco-centric collective dimensions. Altogether, the European decisions do provide some litigation opportunities, but the comparison highlights their limits and those of human rights law when dealing with environmental matters.
