Kelsey Juliana is a young climate activist from Oregon who gained recognition for leading a legal case against the U.S. government. She and other youth plaintiffs argue that the government’s actions support fossil fuel industries, violating their rights to a stable climate and a healthy future. The case, Juliana v. United States, seeks to hold the government accountable for climate change and compel policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It highlights the importance of youth participation in climate justice and raises questions about government responsibility in protecting natural resources and future generations.
