Climate change uniquely affects those who are at the intersection of several inequalities simultaneously, such as those based on gender, age, and disability. This makes them ‘directly affected’ by climate change, which is crucial in establishing ‘victim status’ under Article 34 of the European Convention on Human Rights. At the same time, as a result of unequal power relations, intersectional victims face exclusion from, or minimal participation in, political decision-making processes concerning climate change. This further justifies their claim to victim status as a matter of procedural climate justice. As agents of change, intersectional victims, namely elderly women and girls with disabilities, can be empowered to contribute to climate decision making, thereby reshaping unjust power relations. The article examines two climate cases currently before the European Court of Human Rights: Verein KlimaSeniorinnen Schweiz and Others v. Switzerland, brought by elderly women, and Duarte Agostinho et al. v. Portugal and 32 other States, brought by children and young people.

交叉受害者作为国际人权气候诉讼中变革的推动者

气候变化对那些同时处于多种不平等交叉点的人产生独特的影响，例如基于性别、年龄和残疾的不平等。这使得他们“直接受到”气候变化的影响，这对于根据《欧洲人权公约》第34条确立“受害者地位”至关重要。与此同时，由于不平等的权力关系，交叉受害者面临着被排除在有关气候变化的政治决策过程之外或很少参与的情况。这进一步证明了他们将受害者地位视为程序性气候正义问题的合理性。作为变革的推动者，交叉受害者，即老年妇女和残疾女孩，可以被赋权为气候决策做出贡献，从而重塑不公正的权力关系。本文审查了欧洲人权法院目前正在审理的两起气候案件：Verein KlimaSeniorinnen 瑞士及其他v.瑞士，由老年妇女带来，以及杜阿尔特·阿戈斯蒂尼奥等人。v.葡萄牙和其他 32 个国家，由儿童和青少年带来。
