In a landmark decision, India’s Supreme Court has ruled that the climate crisis impairs the constitutional right to life. It said India must promote renewables to protect citizens from the adverse effects of climate change. „Without a clean environment which is stable and unimpacted by the vagaries of climate change, the right to life is not fully realized,“ the decision of the court said. In particular, people’s right to health is being curtailed. The ruling was handed down on March 21, but was only made public on April 6.
