South Korean court hears children's climate change case against government

Quick Glance: South Korean Court Deliberates Children's Climate Change Lawsuit Against Government
- Environmental activist Choi Jia, alongside her younger sibling Choi Heewoo, participates in a press briefing preceding the initial hearing concerning petitions asserting that the government infringed upon their human rights due to an inadequate approach to climate change.
- A public hearing regarding a lawsuit brought by twenty-four young environmental activists against the government commenced in one of South Korea's top judicial bodies on Tuesday. The plaintiffs argue that the government's negligence in addressing climate change left them unprotected.
- Maintaining that South Korea's current climate strategies fall short in containing the temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius, the plaintiffs claim this breaches the state's duty to safeguard fundamental rights. Scientists caution about the dire consequences of surpassing a 1.5C temperature increase.
- During the legal proceedings, the government asserted its commitment to minimizing carbon emissions and upholding its citizens' basic rights. Nevertheless, activists expressed dissatisfaction with the government's response and urged for more concrete actions against climate change.
