Muaawiyah and Huck are two of 18 young plaintiffs in our constitutional climate suit, Genesis v. EPA. These brave young climate leaders are taking action to protect their rights and stop the EPA from continuing to allow life-threatening levels of fossil fuel climate pollution, and do what scientists say is necessary—phase out fossil fuel pollution no later than 2050. What’s your message to young people wanting to take climate action?

Maryam and her fellow youth plaintiffs are not only fighting to hold the EPA accountable for the climate pollution it allows, but fighting to be seen, heard, and protected.

    The carbon offsetting industry is a massive, and dangerous, distraction from real climate action. SOMO's new series unravels the industry fantasy. Our series concludes with a look at the meaningful, achievable, and just ways to protect forests, people and the climate.

We know there are crimes and crimes of omission. Not sure what category climate crimes fall into but believe me, they are coming down the tracks and every business needs to be sure that they are on the side of the ‘white hats’.
