- Abstract: In 2018, a number of individuals and an indigenous youth organisation challenged the European Union’s main pieces of climate change legislation for lack of ambition in the European Courts, the case was soon labelled as ‘The People’s Climate Case’ in public discourse. The carefully drafted application was dismissed by the General Court and in appeal by the European Court of Justice for lack of standing on the basis of the long-standing Plaumann formula. That formula requires applicants to show that they are affected by the legal act in question in a singular manner. The courts neither saw such a singularity, nor did they engage in a more generous interpretation of Article 263?(4) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. The decision might conflict with the European Union’s obligations under the Aarhus convention and raise concerns in view of the rights to an effective remedy under Article 47 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. Last but not least, it raises questions as to the appropriate means for protection of fundamental rights in the European Union and the need for a constitutional challenge procedure. Altogether, labelling such a case as the ‘People’s climate case’ might be seen ironic given that the applicants did everything they could to show that they were individually and singularly affected and because the courts did not address the issue of climate change in substance.
