To play devil's advocate, it seems fair that a human has the right to not have their air poisoned, or to have a future on the planet for their kids. No idea if that matches any of its articles though.
However, the European Convention of Human Rights was a decision we as a larger society made, as a deliberate safe-guard against having other decisions (or lack thereof) conflict with what we considered the basic requirements for a decent human life. Unless the convention is abandoned, no society that agreed to it can decide (including inaction through indecision!) on something that conflicts with it.

- arghwhat 3y agoCO2 isn't poison unless it doubles. The other air pollutants are though, although I'm also sure that certain kingdom of life wouldn't appreciate the collapse of biological ecosystems as CO2 further insulates the planet. You'll have to consult that kingdom's appropriate court of rights though. The European Convention for Human Rights had a quite narrow scope in that regard.
