As Florida grapples with the aftermath of devastating hurricanes this past year, the urgency of tackling the climate crisis has never been more clear. The storm damage, rising sea levels, and extreme heat are constant reminders that the time for action is now. For the youth plaintiffs of Reynolds v. Florida Public Service Commission, these threats are not just statistics—they are a reality that demands change.
In this edition of our newsletter, we’re proud to share stories from the courageous youth at the forefront of this landmark case, challenging Florida’s fossil fuel-dependent energy policies. Their voices echo the hope and determination of a generation demanding a livable future in the face of escalating climate impacts.
You’ll also hear from the experts leading the charge behind the scenes—our staff scientist offering critical insights on Florida’s energy landscape, and the legal team guiding this case towards justice. Together, they’re working to ensure that Florida’s future is not locked into fossil fuel dependence, but is instead powered by clean, renewable energy.
With every storm that passes and every new challenge we face, the stakes couldn’t be higher. But change is possible—driven by the collective power of the youth, scientists, and advocates refusing to accept a future of climate injustice.
This month, we invite you to learn about the people, the progress, and the history-making protection of children’s rights to a safe climate, powered by Our Children’s Trust.
