Why children, babies in South Korea are suing the government?

In a first-of-its-kind lawsuit in East Asia, a diverse group of plaintiffs, including babies, children, adults, and even an unborn child, have initiated legal action against the government in South Korea over its climate change policies. The plaintiffs argue that the government's climate goals are insufficient, endangering their right to live in a healthy environment. The case is the outcome of merging four similar lawsuits that were filed between 2020 and 2023.
