September 20, 2023: Youth Filed Opening Brief to Utah Supreme Court

The youth plaintiffs and their attorneys filed their opening brief to the Utah Supreme Court explaining why the youth’s case should proceed to trial on the facts and outlining why the November 9, 2022, ruling from Judge Robert Faust was incorrect.

The youth’s brief also explains how their allegations show that Utah laws that require the state to maximize fossil fuel development are causing the state’s climate and air quality crises, harming the health and safety of the youth and taking years off their lives in violation of their rights to life and liberty under Utah’s Constitution.
