Eight young Alaskans (aged 11-22) filed a lawsuit against the state over a massive natural gas pipeline project (Alaska LNG).

• The lawsuit argues the Alaska Constitution includes a right to a livable climate and that the pipeline project violates this right.

• They seek to block the project and have the law requiring its development declared unconstitutional.

• Alaska is experiencing climate change at twice the national rate, yet fossil fuel production remains a key part of its economy.

• This lawsuit is the latest in a string of climate-related lawsuits filed by young people across the US.
