Thank you for joining our May event! We wish to extend a huge thank you to everyone who participated in Child/Youth Participation, Climate Action, and Success in a Climate Case, co-hosted with the Sabin Center at Columbia 深夜亚洲福利久久. The discussions and insights shared by academics, practitioners and young litigants were truly inspiring. If you missed it, you can find the recording .
Interviews ongoing: Our team continues conducting interviews with lawyers, young litigants, judges and other stakeholders worldwide to explore how legal systems can better support youth climate justice. We want our work to inform future cases involving children/youth in the best way possible; by gathering evidence and rights-based approaches.鈥疘f you haven鈥檛 yet participated 鈥 or know someone who should 鈥 please share these sign-up links: , Young Litigants, .

Youth Climate Applications/Litigation
Lighthiser v. Trump: On 29 May 2025, 22 young people filed this lawsuit in federal court, challenging three Executive Orders by President Trump that declare a 鈥渘ational energy emergency鈥 and expand fossil fuels. They argue these Orders violate their constitutional rights to life and liberty by worsening climate harms and suppressing science. Supported by Our Children鈥檚 Trust, the plaintiffs seek to block the Orders to protect their health and futures. Read the and learn more .
Climate facts!
In a previous newsletter, we introduced the concept of 鈥keystone species鈥 which was coined over 50 years ago by Dr. Robert Paine after his tide pool research with starfish. While it is true that some plants and animals play a crucial role within their ecological networks, the conservation and policy efforts targeting specific 鈥榩opular鈥 keystone species can divert focus away from other species that also play very important roles in the planet's ecosystems (Ogden, ).
- In the past 5 decades, the world has seen a 73% decline in over 5,000 vertebrates (Living Planet Report, )
- Species are going extinct at a rate 1000 times the natural rate (Roe, )
- Only 6% of the combined weight of all mammals on Earth is wild (Weizmann Canada, )
So, while it is important to understand relationships between keystones species and their surroundings, it is even more vital that we recognise the value of all species鈥攆rom the smallest microbes to the largest sea creatures. Even those pesky mosquitoes that bzzz in your ears, they are important too!
