		</div><p>A dozen Austrian children are taking their government to court to try to force it to ensure their constitutional rights are protected by taking tougher action against climate change.</p>
<p>A lawyer for the group said the case, submitted to the country’s top court on Tuesday, is modelled on a similar claim in Germany which prompted the government there to set new targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions two years ago.</p>
<p>Michaela Kroemer said Austria’s climate law from 2011 does not sufficiently protect her clients, aged five to 16, from the life-threatening consequences of global warming.</p>
<p>Specifically, she said the children’s rights to “generational justice” – guaranteed in the Austrian constitution – is breached by the Alpine nation’s climate law.</p>
<p>Ms Kroemer said the case is being backed by the youth climate group Fridays For Future – supported by Swedish activist Greta Thunberg – and financially supported by donations.</p>
