Hundreds of activists, including Greta Thunberg, are suing the Swedish government over its climate policy

MADRID, 25 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Swedish activist Greta Thunberg has sued this Friday along with more than 600 environmental activists to the Government of Sweden for its climate policy in an attempt to promote effective measures to curb climate change.

"Today is a perfect day to sue the State for its insufficient climate policy. That is what we have done. See you in court," said the 19-year-old in a message posted on her Twitter account.

The plaintiffs include a large number of children and adolescents belonging to the Aurora organization, whose objective is to get the Swedish government to take "more forceful" measures against global warming, as reported by the newspaper 'Dagens Nyheter'.

The young activists have also requested the Swedish Justice to recognize the "insufficiency" and "inaction" of the authorities in environmental matters.

Both Thunberg and her movement were awarded in 2019 by the organization Amnesty International with its annual Ambassador of Conscience award due to their "unique leadership and courage in the fight for Human Rights".
