		</div><p>A court in Sweden has allowed a group of environmental activists, including Greta Thunberg, to file a lawsuit against the Swedish state for what they say is insufficient action on the climate.</p>
<p>The youth-led initiative Aurora, which is behind the lawsuit, said on its website that “the Swedish state does not treat the climate crisis as a crisis”.</p>
<p>Last year, more than 600 people under the age of 26 signed a document as the basis for the lawsuit, saying the country has violated its citizens’ human rights with its climate policies.</p>
<p>On November 25, hundreds of activists – among them Ms Thunberg holding a sign reading “now we sue the state” – marched through the Swedish capital to the courthouse to file the lawsuit.</p>
<p>“We in Aurora hold the state responsible for the lack of climate work. Through a court process, we must ensure that the state respects human rights,” the group said on its site.</p>
<p>The action comes as scientists warn that chances are slipping away to limit future warming to 1.5C since pre-industrial times.</p>
<p>Nacka District Court said the Swedish government has been given three months to submit its response.</p>
<p>The court said it could not say when hearings might take place or when the case will be decided.</p>
<p>Climate campaigners have launched numerous lawsuits against governments and companies in recent years, with mixed success.</p>
<p>In one of the most high-profile cases, Germany’s top court ruled in 2021 that the government had to adjust its climate targets to avoid unduly burdening the young.</p>
<p>The Berlin government reacted by bringing forward its target for net-zero emissions by five years to 2045 and setting more ambitious near-and-medium term steps to achieve that goal.</p>
