ENVironnement JEUnesse v. Canada

An environmental NGO applied to bring a class action suit on behalf of Quebec citizens aged 35 and other, arguing that their human rights had been violated by the Canadian governments failure to act on climate change.

The case alleges violations of fundamental rights under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (Section 7, the right to life, inviolability, and security) and the Quebec Charter of Rights and Freedoms (Section 1, right to live in a healthful environment in which biodiversity is preserved).
