Kelsey Cascadia Rose Juliana v. United States of America (9th Cir. No. 18-36082)
On March 1, 2019, the Emmett Environmental Law & Policy Clinic filed an amicus brief on behalf of a group of public health experts, public health organizations, and doctors in Juliana v. United States, the landmark climate case brought by a group of youths against the federal government. The Clinic’s brief explains that the generation of children and youth represented by the plaintiffs (the “Juliana Generation”) is already experiencing climate-related adverse health effects and that these effects will worsen over their lifetimes.
