Summary/Abstract: The European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) does not explicitly establish the right of individuals to a clean environment and zero pollution. This does not mean that individuals do not appeal to the Strasbourg court and that these issues are not the subject of its concern. In this article, I attempt to provide an analysis of the court's case law and the evolution of its approach to this issue. I point out that the court had originally assessed this problem from the perspective of individual rights and freedoms, and then fully developed its approach to this matter in its 2024 judgment against Switzerland.
