"What if climate breakdown is a violation of the rights of those yet to
be born? Finally, this urgent question seems to be getting the attention
it deserves. Last month an astonishing 7 million people from nearly 200
countries took to the streets as part of the youth-led global climate
strike. Young people around the world recognise that the disastrous
repercussions of the already present ecological crisis will fall
disproportionately on their shoulders, and the shoulders of generations
to come – in particular on those whose communities have emitted the
smallest proportion of greenhouse gasses."
