As the World Burns
あらすじ・解説
“The story of Juliana v. United States and the committed young people behind it will give you hope in the next generation.”—Elizabeth Kolbert, author of The Sixth Extinction
Do our children have a right to inherit a livable planet? Is the government obliged to protect it? Twenty-one young people from across America have sued the federal government over climate change, charging that actions promoting a fossil fuel economy violate their constitutional rights to life, liberty, and property. Their trial could be the civil rights trial of the century, but the government has used arcane legal tactics to stymie its progress at every turn.
As the World Burns by investigative reporter Lee van der Voo follows the plight of the young plaintiffs, chronicling their legal battle as their childhoods are consumed by another year of drought and wildfire, floods and hurricanes, and the most tumultuous political season in modern history. As the World Burns is climate breakdown like you’ve never seen it—through the eyes of the young.
批評家のレビュー
“The question of climate change is a simple one: Will our young people be allowed a future? This book details the struggles of young activists as they battle in the courts for the most basic right of all—the right to survive.”—Mark Lynas, author of Our Final Warning: Six Degrees of Climate Emergency
“A deeply human account of an extraordinary group of young people, a cast of characters whose courage, anguish, and idealism guide them through battle against entrenched power and a broken political system. Gripping, essential reading.”—Beth Gardiner, author of Choked: Life and Breath in the Age of Air Pollution
“A well-paced, conversational narrative…a comprehensive look at the motivating factors that caused young adults to sue the government for a better future.”—Kirkus
