Youth Climate Applications/Litigation
Genesis B. v. United States Environmental Protection Agency 鈥 Latest Update
On December 10, 2023, 18 children from across California sued the EPA (and later the Office of Management and Budget), alleging the government discounts the economic value of their lives when regulating climate pollution. They point to serious harm from wildfires, floods, and toxic air pollution, arguing this violates their fundamental rights to equal protection and life.
On February 11, 2025, Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald dismissed the case, preventing the plaintiffs from presenting evidence of their injuries. Our Children鈥檚 Trust states that, by ignoring their claims, the court essentially shielded the government鈥檚 climate policies from judicial scrutiny. Despite this setback, the children remain determined to hold the U.S. government accountable.
Layla H. v. Commonwealth of Virginia 鈥 Latest Update
Filed on February 9, 2022, by 12 young Virginians, this lawsuit argues that Virginia鈥檚 continued reliance on fossil fuels violates the plaintiffs鈥 constitutional rights to life and liberty and breaches the state鈥檚 duty to protect public resources.
After the Court of Appeals dismissed the case on June 26, 2024, citing sovereign immunity and lack of standing, the plaintiffs appealed to the Virginia Supreme Court. On February 11, 2025, they presented oral arguments urging the Court to overturn the dismissal, highlighting key issues like standing and the public trust doctrine. A decision is expected soon.
