Youth Climate Lawsuit and Legal Battles

The chapter focuses on the landmark youth climate lawsuit against the U.S. government, where young plaintiffs sought to hold the government accountable for its contribution to climate change. After years of litigation, the case was dismissed by the Biden administration, leading to discussions on the legal path ahead, including the possibility of appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court. The episode also highlights the success of young environmentalists in state court challenges, such as the held v Montana case, in addressing climate change impacts and challenging state laws.
