Hawaii Reaches Historic Climate Settlement with Youth Activists

Hawaii has reached a historic settlement with youth activists, agreeing to accelerate the de-carbonization of its transport sector to protect their right to a safe and healthy climate. The agreement includes establishing a greenhouse gas reduction plan within a year, investing in clean transportation infrastructure, and expanding the public electric vehicle charging network. This settlement, achieved just before the case was set to go to trial, marks a significant victory for the youth plaintiffs and sets a precedent for future climate litigation.
