I just hope this ruling, and future ones, will be used on a wise and right way. I mean one could rule that a certain country hasn't been upholding its own climate targets which sounds fair enough; it seems more or less measurable, accountable and executable.
I imagine that Switzerland will have to adjust its environmental policies to match their climate quotas.

Even better: This ruling applies to far more than just Switzerland.
