Meet one of the youth climate activists suing the province

from This Matters · host Toronto Star

Guest: Madison Dyck, youth climate activist Climate activists brought the Ontario government to court last week, alleging the provincial climate plan fails to protect them and future generations. The landmark lawsuit dates back to 2018 when Premier Doug Ford's Progressive Conservative government repealed the Climate Change Act and replaced it with an act that has weaker emission reduction targets. Who is behind the legal action? Seven young climate activists under the age of 30. They have grown, graduated and moved across the country since the case was launched, but they're still fighting the fight that could shape all our futures. Madison Dyck, a student from Thunder Bay, is one of the seven. This episode was produced by Saba Eitizaz, Paulo Marques and Brian Bradley.
