Judge Hill also ordered Ecology to consult with the youth petitioners in advance of that recommendation. The youths were forced back to court after Ecology unexpectedly withdrew the very rulemaking efforts to reduce carbon emissions the agency told the judge it had underway. This case is one of several similar state, federal, and international cases, all supported by Our Children\u2019s Trust, seeking the legal right to a healthy atmosphere and stable climate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">In granting the youth a remedy, Judge Hill noted the extraordinary circumstances of the climate crisis, saying, \u201cthis is an urgent situation\u2026these kids can\u2019t wait.\u201d The court discussed the catastrophic impacts of climate destabilization globally, including the impending loss of polar bears and low-lying countries like Bangladesh. The court explained that while it had no jurisdiction outside of Washington state, it did have jurisdiction over Ecology and would order the agency to comply with the law and do its part to address the crisis.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">After a <a href=\"http:\/\/ourchildrenstrust.org\/sites\/default\/files\/15.11.19.Order_FosterV.Ecology.pdf\"><span class=\"s2\">landmark November, 2015 decision<\/span><\/a>, in which Judge Hill found that the state has a \u201cmandatory duty\u201d to \u201cpreserve, protect, and enhance the air quality for the current and future generations,\u201d and found the state\u2019s current standards to fail that standard dramatically, Ecology nonetheless unilaterally withdrew its proposed rule to reduce carbon emissions in the state in February, just months after Judge Hill specifically underscored the urgency of the climate crisis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">\u201cIt was absurd for Ecology to withdraw its proposed rule to reduce carbon emissions,\u201d said petitioner Aji Piper, who is also a plaintiff on the federal constitutional climate <a href=\"http:\/\/ourchildrenstrust.org\/sites\/default\/files\/YouthAmendedComplaintAgainstUS.pdf\"><span class=\"s2\">lawsuit<\/span><\/a>, supported by Our Children\u2019s Trust. \u201cEspecially after Judge Hill declared last fall that our \u2018very survival depends upon the will of [our] elders to act now\u2026to stem the tide of global warming.\u2019 I think Ecology should be ashamed by its reversal of potentially powerful action and today, Judge Hill issued a significant ruling that should go down in history books. Our government must act to protect our climate for benefit of us and future generations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">\u201cFor the first time, a U.S. court not only recognized the extraordinary harms young people are facing due to climate change, but ordered an agency to do something about it,\u201d said Andrea Rodgers, the Western Environmental Law Center attorney representing the youths. \u201cEcology is now court-ordered to issue a rule that fulfills its constitutional and public trust duty to ensure Washington does its part to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and protect the planet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">\u201cThis case explains why youth around this country, and in several other countries, are forced to bring their governments to court to secure a healthy atmosphere and stable climate,\u201d said Julia Olson, executive director and chief legal counsel at Our Children\u2019s Trust. \u201cDespite clear scientific evidence and judicial recognition of the urgency of the climate crisis, Washington and most governments across the U.S. and other countries are failing to take correspondingly urgent, science-based action. That failure unfairly consigns youth to a disproportionately bleak future against which they can only reasonably ask the courts to step in to address this most time sensitive issue of our time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">\u201cThis is a massive victory,\u201d said petitioner Gabe Mandell.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Related cases brought by youth to protect the atmosphere are pending before other U.S. courts in the federal district court in Oregon, and in the state courts of North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Massachusetts and Oregon.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><strong>Contacts:<br \/><\/strong>Andrea Rodgers, Western Environmental Law Center, 206-696-2851,<span class=\"s1\">&nbsp;<a href=\"&#x6d;a&#x69;&#108;&#x74;&#111;&#x3a;&#x72;o&#x64;&#103;&#x65;&#114;&#x73;&#64;w&#x65;&#115;&#x74;&#101;&#x72;&#110;l&#x61;&#119;&#x2e;&#111;&#x72;&#103;\"><span class=\"s2\">&#x72;&#111;d&#x67;&#101;r&#x73;&#x40;&#119;&#x65;&#x73;&#116;e&#x72;&#110;l&#x61;&#x77;&#46;&#x6f;&#x72;&#103;<\/span><\/a><\/span>&nbsp;<br \/>Julia Olson, Executive Director of Our Children\u2019s Trust, 415-786-4825,<span class=\"s1\">&nbsp;<a href=\"&#x6d;&#x61;&#105;lt&#x6f;&#x3a;&#106;&#117;l&#x69;&#x61;&#64;&#111;u&#x72;&#x63;&#x68;&#105;ld&#x72;&#x65;&#110;&#115;t&#x72;&#x75;&#115;&#116;&#46;&#x6f;&#x72;&#103;\"><span class=\"s2\">&#x6a;&#x75;&#108;&#105;a&#x40;&#x6f;&#x75;&#114;&#99;h&#x69;&#x6c;&#x64;&#114;&#101;n&#x73;&#x74;&#x72;&#117;&#115;t&#x2e;&#x6f;&#x72;&#103;<\/span><\/a>&nbsp;<br \/><\/span>To set up interviews with youth plaintiffs contact Meg Ward, 503-341-8590,&nbsp;<a href=\"m&#97;&#105;&#108;&#x74;&#x6f;&#x3a;me&#103;&#64;&#x6f;&#x75;&#x72;&#x63;hi&#108;&#100;&#x72;&#x65;&#x6e;&#x73;t&#114;&#117;&#115;&#x74;&#x2e;&#x6f;rg\"><span class=\"s2\">&#109;&#x65;&#103;&#x40;o&#x75;r&#99;&#x68;&#105;&#x6c;d&#x72;e&#110;&#x73;&#116;&#x72;u&#x73;t&#46;&#x6f;&#114;&#x67;<\/span><\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">For a more detailed history on the case, click <a href=\"https:\/\/westernlaw.org\/?p=756\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><strong><em>Our Children&#8217;s Trust <\/em><\/strong><em>is a nonprofit organization, elevating the voice of youth, those with most to lose, to secure the legal right to a healthy atmosphere and stable climate on behalf of present and future generations.
