Juliana v. United States and the global youth-led legal campaign for a safe climate

Patti Moore, Danny Noonan and Erik Woodward

Chapter 16 in Standing up for a Sustainable World, 2020, pp 151-157 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The Juliana v. United States lawsuit is arguably the highest-profile, most-successful and most-consequential legal action in a global wave of youth-led climate advocacy. This contribution summarizes the lawsuit, including its legal, factual and scientific bases, its history, and its future prospects. The authors also situate the lawsuit within the global youth-led climate movement that has risen to prominence since circa-2018, and briefly comment on the growing trend of similar youth-led, human rights-based legal actions in other countries and jurisdictions.
