Reading Time: 6 minutesChildren’s climate litigation has boomed in the last 10 years. According to the University College Cork Youth Climate Justice project’s case law database, approximately 81 climate cases have been launched by children and youth, or on their behalf, in countries all over the world in the past decade. These cases include child applicants as young as 7 years and under, but the majority fall within the 13 to 18 years range.[1] They often act alongside young adults up to age 25, and some of them reach adulthood while the case is pending, thus the term child/youth-involved climate litigation.
