What is Youth v. Gov?
Youth v. Gov is young people around the world who are suing their governments for actions causing and worsening the climate crisis. Youth v. Gov is what we do at Our Children’s Trust: representing and supporting youth securing their legal right to a safe climate. Youth v. Gov is a legal campaign, a hashtag, and even a film - made by independent, acclaimed filmmakers - that tells our story.
So how does Our Children’s Trust align with Youth v. Gov?
The young climate leaders of the Youth v. Gov movement are represented and supported by Our Children’s Trust, the world’s only non-profit public interest law firm dedicated exclusively to securing the legal rights of youth to a healthy atmosphere and safe climate, based on the best available science, and all at no cost to them or their families.
The global Youth v. Gov community includes young plaintiffs represented and supported by Our Children’s Trust in climate litigation and legal actions across the United States and around the world, including:
Held v. State of Montana (which will become the first children’s climate trial in U.S. history!)
And more youth-led legal actions around the world (with even more to be filed soon!).
