Trailblazing youth seek Supreme Court hearing on climate Charter case
Seven young Canadians led by Sophia Mathur push Ontario targets to meet science-based climate goals and challenge whether a government plan could violate the Charter. The case questions if federal and provincial duties to fight climate change exist, with Ontario asking the Supreme Court to weigh in on constitutional obligation, minimum standards, and governance process. If not heard, lower courts would revive the challenge.
