Yoon Hyeonjeong's fight for climate action now relies on a pivotal ruling from South Korea's Constitutional Court, marking a potential first in Asia regarding government accountability.
'Picketing on streets, policy proposals, these campaigns weren't enough to bring about real changes,' says Yoon, highlighting the need for systemic change through the judicial system.
The government's lawyers argue they are taking significant steps to reduce emissions, while Yoon and others contend that immediate and impactful changes are vital for human rights.
Yoon's journey into activism began at a young age when she was inspired by a climate documentary, propelling her to abandon her education for the cause.
