About the plaintiffs
Seeking a future not threatened by the climate crisis, youths in their teens and twenties from around Japan have filed a civil lawsuit against major electric utilities, which account for about 30% of Japan’s CO2 emissions, requesting emission reductions at levels consistent with the science-based 1.5°C target.
