The Right to Save our Future | ft. Shibani Ghosh
Description
Can political leaders be taken to court over climate change impacts? Can the Indian Constitution recognize climate change under the right to live?

Learn how this big decision could change India's legal system, support climate action, and lead to future climate laws.
