Navahine v. HDOT 

 

Navahine v. Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation is the world’s first youth-led constitutional climate case aimed at stopping climate pollution from transportation systems. The plaintiffs and legal team behind Navahine have just secured a landmark court-ordered settlement requiring Hawaiʻi to achieve zero emissions in transportation by 2045. In this webinar, Andrea Rodgers, Lead Attorney for Navahine v. HDOT and Deputy Director, US Strategy at Our Children’s Trust, as well as Anders Carlson, Our Children’s Trust’s Senior Climate Scientist, and Rylee Brooke, one of the youth plaintiffs, will recount how they brought the highest levels of government to the negotiating table and secured an agreement that: affirms their right to a life-sustaining climate system; draws up a blueprint of how to get there; and provides a roadmap that could serve as a model for youth worldwide.
