Three plaintiffs from Portugal, Germany and the UK have witnessed their livelihoods become threatened by climate change, and are calling politicians to account.

Rosamund Kissi-Debrah from London, at the Coroner's Court and Claudia Duarte from Leiria's case is at the European Court of Human Rights.
