They are young, dedicated and have finally had enough: twelve children and young people are suing the Constitutional Court for their right to a secure future. We spoke with some of them and with their lawyer, Michaela Krömer.
“We cry out our hearts out, but we are not heard” – this quote comes from Franzi, a 16-year-old schoolgirl from Upper Austria. She is part of a group of children and youth from around the country who are campaigning for climate protection – at demonstrations, in their schools and more. “But nothing is being done to protect our future. It’s so frustrating, but there’s no way to stop,” Franzi clarifies.
That is why they are taking their commitment to a new level: they want to act before the Constitutional Court against the seemingly unstoppable global warming. They are doing something that has never existed in this form before. They are suing the state of Austria.
