Seven young Ontario climate activists, including Sophia Mathur of Sudbury, lost their much-publicized climate lawsuit against the Ontario government back in April
Seven young climate activists from across Ontario — including Sudbury’s own Sophia Mathur — are appealing the dismissal of their climate case to the Court of Appeal for Ontario, their lawyers announced this month.
“These courageous youth are determined to continue the fight to protect their generation and future generations from government caused climate harms,” their lawyers, Ecojustice, said in a news release. “They are committed to seeing this through the legal system.” While it dismissed the case, Ecojustice said the Ontario Superior Court made several positive findings, including that the judge fully endorsed the important science and facts of climate change, found that Ontario’s target is increasing the risk of harm and death to Ontarians, and acknowledged that young people and Indigenous Peoples are disproportionately impacted by climate change.
