Canada's First-Ever Youth-Led Climate Trial Gets Under Way

EXCERPT: "The 15 plaintiffs have grown up amid increasingly severe climate-related disasters, from widespread flooding in 2021 and a deadly heat dome to catastrophic wildfires in 2023.

They argue that climate-related disasters have lasting physical and psychological impacts on their lives and that the federal government is not doing enough to prevent such events. . . . ."
