In a groundbreaking decision, South Korea's Constitutional Court ruled Thursday that the government's climate targets \"violate the Constitution\" by failing to protect citizens' rights – a major win for young activists demanding urgent action. 🌱
The case, spearheaded by youth plaintiffs, argued that current policies \"do not sufficiently address the climate crisis,\" putting future generations at risk. The court agreed, marking the first time the country's climate framework has been challenged on constitutional grounds. ⚖️
\"This ruling is like a 'global warming wake-up call' for policymakers,\" said one legal advisor involved. While specifics on revised goals remain pending, the verdict amplifies youth voices in climate debates worldwide – echoing movements like #FridaysForFuture. 📢
