In Australia, eight young people have launched the first ever class action suit of its kind aimed at stopping a coal mine on behalf of all young people around the world. The class action argues that the government owes a duty of care to children in Australia and by approving the digging up and burning of coal, climate change will be made worse and that will harm them in the future. One of the eight young people, Izzy Raj-Seppings, who is 13, explains the risks to the environment that the mine could bring and why she is bringing the action.
