Our Children’s Trust: Sagoonick v. State of Alaska II

Last week, eight young people filed a constitutional climate lawsuit Sagoonick v. State of Alaska II against their state, the Alaska Gasline Development Corporation (AGDC), and AGDC President Frank Richards. The youth plaintiffs, many of whom are Alaska Natives, are on the frontlines of the climate crisis and already experiencing serious harms to their health, safety, and access to natural resources they depend on, including for subsistence and cultural traditions.
