Join us at LSE for a screening of TROP CHAUD, the documentary film that takes a moving look behind the scenes of the journey of the KlimaSeniorinnen – Swiss Senior Women for Climate Protection – their landmark victory before the European Court of Human Rights, and their ongoing fight for climate justice. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion exploring the significance of the judgment, its ongoing implementation, and what it means for climate litigation, human rights and accountability across Europe. The event will bring together the KlimaSeniorinnen, legal experts and climate justice advocates to reflect on the power of collective action and litigation and on what comes next in the struggle to ensure governments protect people from the climate crisis. This event is part of the KlimaSeniorinnen European Tour 2026, a journey across Europe bringing the film and the women behind the landmark case into conversation with communities, activists, lawyers, academics and decision-makers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
