Bonus Episode – Youth Plaintiffs from Juliana v. United States
What happens when 21 Gen Z leaders step up to demand the US government take action on climate? How has Juliana v. United States transformed the climate conversation in the US?
In conversation with Ashley Lukens, our Regional Development Director for Center for Food Safety, we hosted youth plaintiffs and a lawyer from the landmark climate case Juliana v. United States (also known as Youth v Gov).
In Juliana v. United States, 21 youth plaintiffs sued the U.S. federal government for violating their right to a safe climate. Plaintiffs claimed the government’s actions and inactions regarding climate change violated their fundamental constitutional rights to freedom from deprivation of life, liberty, and property.
