Climate Plaintiffs on North Sea Island Pellworm in Germany
German climate plaintiff Sophie Backsen on North Sea island Pellworm. Together with two other families impacted by the global warming and with Greenpeace e.V., she and her family are taking legal steps for effective climate protection and file a complaint against the German government with the Berlin Administrative Court. The Backsen family operates an organic farm and is directly affected by impacts of global warming. Most parts of the island are one meter below sea level. If sea levels rise, the existing dikes could soon no longer be sufficient to protect the island.

Climate Plaintiffs in Germany
Climate plaintiffs in Germany. Three families impacted by global warming, and also Greenpeace e.V. are taking legal steps for effective climate protection and file a complaint against the German government with the Berlin Administrative Court. The basis of the complaint: The Federal Government violates fundamental rights, if it does not take additional measures to achieve the German climate target for the year 2020. By failing to meet this target the Federal Government is furthermore violating European environmental law. As an environmental organisation, Greenpeace Germany is therefore suing for compliance with German and European environmental law.
