"Hannah Kim, eight, was just starting primary school when she joined the “baby
climate litigation” to force South Korea’s government to protect the rights of
future generations against the dangers of the climate crisis.
Now, with high school still some way off, she is toasting success after winning
her part in a four-year legal battle that has set a significant precedent for
climate-related legal action in Asia.
“I was so happy when the verdict came out, but mum cried” Hannah says. Her
mother, Sujin Namgung, describes how Hannah “was smiling so widely that all her
teeth were showing” in the courtroom when the decision was announced.
But for Hannah, and other children in the group, the legal victory is just the
beginning."
