I Stand with the Youth Plaintiffs of Navahine F. v. Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation!
On June 1, 2022, 14 youth in Hawaiʻi filed a constitutional climate lawsuit, Navahine F. v. Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation, against the Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation (HDOT), HDOT Director Jade Butay, Governor David Ige, and the State of Hawaiʻi. The youth plaintiffs claim that their constitutional rights are being violated and their ability to live healthful lives is being negatively impacted by their state DOT’s operation of a transportation system that results in high levels of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
