Return Reference	Explanation
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A	IN UGANDA, FOUR YOUTH PLAINTIFFS ARE CHALLENGING THEIR GOVERNMENT'S FAILURE TO IMPLEMENT ITS CLIMATE LAW IN LINE WITH SCIENCE, ARGUING THAT UNREGULATED FOSSIL FUEL DEVELOPMENT VIOLATES THEIR RIGHT TO A HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT. TOGETHER, THESE CASES ARE LAYING THE GROUNDWORK FOR A GLOBAL RECOGNITION OF THE FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT OF ALL CHILDREN TO A SAFE AND STABLE CLIMATE SYSTEM. OUR WORK'S IMPACT RIPPLES AROUND THE WORLD, FAR BEYOND OUR CASES, AS YOUTH AND ALLIED LAWYERS-MANY INSPIRED BY JULIANA AND HELD-HAVE LAUNCHED HUNDREDS OF RIGHTS-BASED CLIMATE CASES IN MORE THAN 55 COUNTRIES, SIGNALING A GENERATIONAL TRANSFORMATION IN CLIMATE LAW. OUR CHILDREN'S TRUST DOES NOT SERVE AS COUNSEL OF RECORD IN GLOBAL CASES AND SEEKS NO FEES OR EXPENSES. ALL CASES PROTECT THE RIGHTS OF CHILDREN AGAINST GOVERNMENT ACTIONS CONTRIBUTING TO THE CLIMATE CRISIS AND SERVE THE PUBLIC INTEREST. STRATEGIC COMMUNICATION AND PUBLIC EDUCATION IN 2024, OUR CHILDREN'S TRUST EXPANDED THE MOVEMENT FOR CHILDREN'S CLIMATE RIGHTS BY INVESTING IN THE NEXT GENERATION OF LEGAL, COMMUNICATIONS, AND POLICY ADVOCATES. WE WELCOMED THREE LAW FELLOWS, 13 LAW CLERKS FROM 11 LAW SCHOOLS, NINE GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS INTERNS, AND FOUR COMMUNICATIONS INTERNS. OUR TEAM SPOKE AT OVER 25 LAW SCHOOL EVENTS ACROSS 12 STATES AND COLLABORATED WITH LEADING LEGAL CLINICS AT INSTITUTIONS SUCH AS UC BERKELEY, HARVARD, YALE, DUKE, GEORGETOWN, AND THE UVA TO SUPPORT CASE DEVELOPMENT AND BUILD LITIGATION CAPACITY. BEYOND THE COURTROOM, WE ENGAGED CHILDREN AND YOUTH OF ALL AGES THROUGH SCHOOL VISITS, RALLIES, AND EVENTS-EQUIPPING THEM WITH THE TOOLS, CONFIDENCE, AND PLATFORMS TO BECOME AGENTS OF CHANGE. OUR STAFF AND YOUTH PLAINTIFFS PRESENTED AT OVER 90 EVENTS, DELIVERING WORKSHOPS, KEYNOTES, AND COMMUNITY FORUMS. WE ALSO LAUNCHED A NEW BLOG SERIES FEATURING 29 STORIES, HELPING AMPLIFY YOUTH VOICES IN THEIR OWN WORDS. MEDIA COVERAGE SURGED WITH OVER 330 EARNED MEDIA PIECES IN TEN-PLUS LANGUAGES, GENERATING 25.3 MILLION IMPRESSIONS ACROSS NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL OUTLETS. FROM THE STEPS OF THE U.S. SUPREME COURT TO THE YOUTH CLIMATE SUMMIT IN BERMUDA, OUR PLAINTIFFS INSPIRED GLOBAL AUDIENCES TO SEE YOUTH NOT JUST AS MESSENGERS, BUT AS LEADERS OF A TRANSFORMATIONAL CLIMATE JUSTICE MOVEMENT. THROUGH STORYTELLING, TRAINING, AND TRAUMA-INFORMED SUPPORT, WE EMPOWER YOUTH TO TESTIFY IN COURT, SPEAK PUBLICLY, AND SHAPE THE FUTURE-BUILDING LIFELONG SKILLS IN RESILIENCE, LEADERSHIP, AND PURPOSE. OUR WORK EARNED 10 AWARDS IN 2024. HELD PLAINTIFFS WERE NAMED CONSERVATIONISTS OF THE YEAR BY MONTANA AUDUBON AND RECEIVED THE FREE EXPRESSION AWARD FROM THE FREEDOM FORUM FOR THEIR LANDMARK WIN. FOUNDING EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR JULIA OLSON WAS HONORED WITH THE ENVIRONMENTAL LEADERSHIP AWARD FROM BERKELEY LAW, AND DIRECTOR OF U.S. STRATEGY ANDREA RODGERS RECEIVED THE SVITLANA KRAVCHENKO ENVIRONMENTAL RIGHTS AWARD AT THE PUBLIC INTEREST ENVIRONMENTAL LAW CONFERENCE. THESE HONORS UNDERSCORE OUR PROFOUND LEGAL AND CULTURAL IMPACT AND THE GROWING PUBLIC RECOGNITION THAT YOUTH CLIMATE RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS. IN CLOSING IN 2024, WE PROVED WHAT'S POSSIBLE WHEN YOUTH DEMAND JUSTICE: LANDMARK COURT VICTORIES, GROUNDBREAKING SETTLEMENTS, AND A GLOBAL COMMUNITY RALLYING BEHIND YOUTH HOLDING THEIR GOVERNMENTS ACCOUNTABLE. EVERY CASE WE BRING IS GROUNDED IN LAW, SCIENCE, AND PUBLIC INTEREST. WE WILL NOT STOP UNTIL CHILDREN'S CLIMATE RIGHTS ARE SECURED IN EVERY COURTROOM, COMMUNITY, AND COUNTRY. MORE INFORMATION ABOUT OUR GROUNDBREAKING LEGAL STRATEGY ON BEHALF OF CHILDREN AND FUTURE GENERATIONS CAN BE FOUND AT OURCHILDRENSTRUST.ORG.

THE DECISION AFFIRMS THAT THE STATE'S FOSSIL FUEL POLICIES VIOLATE YOUTH RIGHTS TO A CLEAN AND HEALTHFUL ENVIRONMENT UNDER MONTANA'S CONSTITUTION. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME A STATE SUPREME COURT IN THE U.S. UPHELD A CLIMATE RIGHTS RULING IN FAVOR OF YOUTH. IT SETS A POWERFUL PRECEDENT THAT YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE STANDING TO SUE AND THAT CLIMATE PROTECTIONS ARE ENFORCEABLE CONSTITUTIONAL OBLIGATIONS.NAVAHINE V.

MORE THAN 70,000 INDIVIDUALS EMAILED THE WHITE HOUSE, AND OVER 320,000 PEOPLE SIGNED PETITIONS DEMANDING ACTION. IN DECEMBER 2024, THE JULIANA PLAINTIFFS FILED A PETITION FOR CERTIORARI WITH THE U.S. SUPREME COURT, ASKING THE COURT TO VACATE THE NINTH CIRCUIT'S DISMISSAL OF THEIR CASE AND REMAND TO THE LOWER COURT SO THEY CAN MOVE FORWARD ON THEIR AMENDED COMPLAINT.

THIS QUIETLY ENTRENCHED PRACTICE UNDERLIES NEARLY EVERY FEDERAL ENVIRONMENTAL DECISION AND JUSTIFIES WEAK, DELAYED CLIMATE ACTION. THIS RIGGED CALCULUS MUST BE DISMANTLED FOR JUST AND EFFECTIVE U.S. CLIMATE POLICY. WE ALSO CONTINUED LITIGATION IN UTAH, VIRGINIA, AND SUPPORTED EMERGING LEGAL STRATEGIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY.ALL OF OUR U.S. CASES SEEK A SUCCESSFUL RESOLUTION OF THE CLIMATE CRISIS THROUGH THE PROTECTION OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS OF YOUNG PEOPLE, AND THUS, ARE IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST.

IN 2024, WE AMPLIFIED YOUTH VOICES ON THE GLOBAL STAGE, WORKING ALONGSIDE ATTORNEYS, SCIENTISTS, AND HEALTH PROFESSIONALS TO PUSH CLIMATE ACCOUNTABILITY INTO THE HIGHEST COURTS. OUR ADVOCACY IS DRIVING A RIGHTS-BASED SHIFT IN CLIMATE LITIGATION THAT CENTERS SCIENCE, YOUTH AGENCY, AND INTERGENERATIONAL JUSTICE.WE SUBMITTED EXPERT TESTIMONY AND SCIENCE-GROUNDED LEGAL ARGUMENTS TO FOUR OF THE WORLD'S MOST INFLUENTIAL JUDICIAL BODIES:- THE INTER-AMERICAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS TESTIFYING ON THE LEGAL OBLIGATION TO PROTECT CHILDREN'S RIGHTS AMID THE CLIMATE CRISIS- THE EUROPEAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS ANALYZING STATE ACCOUNTABILITY IN THE COURT'S FIRST CLIMATE RULINGS- THE UN OFFICE OF THE HIGH COMMISSIONER FOR HUMAN RIGHTS HIGHLIGHTING CLIMATE-DRIVEN MENTAL HEALTH HARMS TO CHILDREN- THE INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE URGING A STRONG ADVISORY OPINION ON STATES' OBLIGATIONS TO PROTECT FUTURE GENERATIONSOUR WORK ALSO SUPPORTS LANDMARK LITIGATION ABROAD IN NATIONAL COURTS:IN CANADA, WE SUPPORT 15 YOUTH PLAINTIFFS IN LA ROSE V. HIS MAJESTY THE KING, PREPARING FOR AN EIGHT-WEEK TRIAL IN 2026 THAT CHALLENGES FEDERAL CLIMATE POLICY UNDER THE CANADIAN CHARTER OF RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS. THE PLAINTIFFS, AGES 15-23, ARE ALREADY EXPERIENCING MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH HARMS, DISPLACEMENT, AND THE LOSS OF CULTURAL PRACTICES DUE TO WILDFIRES, PERMAFROST MELT, AND RISING TEMPERATURES-IMPACTS THEY ARGUE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS FAILED TO PREVENT DESPITE ITS CONSTITUTIONAL DUTIES.IN MEXICO, WE SUPPORT 62 YOUTH PLAINTIFFS IN FOUR CONSTITUTIONAL LAWSUITS DEMANDING THAT FEDERAL AND STATE GOVERNMENTS IMPLEMENT THE NATION'S 2012 GENERAL LAW ON CLIMATE CHANGE. THE YOUTH ARGUE THAT THE GOVERNMENT'S FAILURE TO ENACT REGULATIONS VIOLATES THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO A HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT.

TWO OF THE CASES WE SUPPORT HAVE BEEN ELEVATED TO MEXICO'S SUPREME COURT.
