Aug 29, 2024, 07:02 AM
South Korea's Constitutional Court has ruled that much of the country's climate goals are unconstitutional, marking a significant victory for youth-led climate activism. Yoon Hyeonjeong, a 19-year-old South Korean activist, has been at the forefront of this movement, advocating for more decisive action against climate change. The court has ordered the South Korean government to specify plans to cut carbon emissions through 2049, emphasizing the need for more quantitative emission targets for future generations. The Environment Ministry has stated that South Korea respects the court's decision and will implement follow-up measures.
