On Tuesday, a Swedish court authorized a class action lawsuit against the Swedish state for “insufficient climate policy” by Greta Thunberg and hundreds of other climate activists.

In November, Thunberg and 600 other Aurora activists sued the Swedish state for failing to prevent global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius following the European Convention on Human Rights.

Once the organization adjusted the claim, Nacka District Court allowed the complaint on Tuesday.

“The district court has now issued a summons in a high-profile class action case,” the court announced. “The lawsuit requires the district court to rule that the state must implement particular climate change actions.”

The district court ruled the Swedish state has three months to react to the action before it can be heard or resolved in writing, but it couldn’t specify when.

Emails to the Chancellor of Justice went unanswered.

Aurora wants the court to order Sweden to limit CO2 emissions by 6.5-9.4 million tonnes per year starting in 2019.

“Aurora wishes to do everything we can to convince you to understand the urgency of the climate problem,” the organization wrote to the Swedish government last year.

As a new scientific report warned of a “climate time bomb,” U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres encouraged wealthier nations to cut emissions faster on Monday.
