Description
Book Introduction
Asia's first climate lawsuit wins!
The youth who moved the world
Bold Climate Constitution Wish Timeline
Do you feel depressed and frustrated just hearing the words 'climate crisis'?
What can we do with our own strength?
Discover the triumphant stories of young people who truly changed the world!
The gloomy story of a climate crisis caused by global warming is heard more seriously and in more places every year.
It seems like the world doesn't change easily with small actions in everyday life, and smoke still rises from chimneys and mountains of garbage only grow higher.
In this climate crisis, many people are feeling anxious and depressed.
The sighs of young people, who will have to suffer the consequences of climate catastrophe for a longer period and more severely in the future, are especially deep.
But in August 2024, astonishing news that shook the world was delivered.
South Korean youth filed a climate constitutional petition against the government and the National Assembly, ultimately leading to a ruling that the law was unconstitutional.
It was the first climate lawsuit won in Asia.
"We Will End the Climate Crisis" contains the vivid stories of young people who chose hope over despair and those who changed the world through action rather than helplessness.
The author states, “The climate crisis is worsening at a rapid pace, but our response to it is also incredibly fast,” and discusses climate litigation as a way to reduce this gap.
The story of South Korea's youth's climate lawsuit unfolds vividly, as if embarking on a firsthand adventure.
The comic begins with a role-playing game setting to help readers quickly immerse themselves, while also providing easy and friendly explanations of potentially difficult legal and climate issues.
The eye-catching editing and diverse compositions make the story engaging from the moment you open the book until you turn the last page.
The direction of our lives changes depending on what stories we hear, read, and take to heart.
In the age of climate crisis, it is ultimately up to us to decide whether we will give up and give in to resignation, or take a step forward and become the protagonists who change the world.
This book warmly reaches out to young people who hesitate at that moment of choice.
Through the stories of peers who truly changed the world, readers will find hope that change is not far away and that we can overcome crises with courage and solidarity.

Publisher's Review
“The state has a duty to protect its citizens from the climate crisis!”
The Power to Protect Our Lives: The Climate Human Rights Declaration, Enshrined in the Constitution
At the historic moment of the impeachment of the president, many people held their breath and watched the Constitutional Court's ruling.
The entire nation realized that the constitutional provisions read that day had great power.
The Constitution is a strong promise that, though invisible like air, is always there to protect our freedom and rights and support our community.
This book looks at the climate crisis from a constitutional perspective.
Beginning with the pledge contained in the Constitution to "secure the safety, freedom, and happiness of ourselves and our descendants forever," we carefully unravel how the reality of the climate crisis intersects with our fundamental rights.
Instead of dwelling on vague fears, the Constitution provides a new perspective on the climate crisis and guides us to find solutions.
The author of this book is a lawyer who has been involved in every process of climate litigation, from its inception to its verdict.
Drawing on expert legal knowledge, this book vividly illustrates the entire process of climate litigation, showing how citizens' rights are connected to laws and systems to bring about change.
The reason why I jumped into climate litigation, which was unfamiliar in Korea, the fierce effort of writing documents exceeding 100 pages every week and collecting opinions from over 5,000 citizens, the proud voices of the plaintiffs resonating during the public hearing at the Constitutional Court, and even the moment of joy together while sharing noodles after the ruling…
The book is filled with vivid memories of sweat and tears experienced directly at the trial site.
Additionally, the book includes the Constitutional Court's reading of the verdict at the end, allowing readers to experience the moment of the historic ruling firsthand.
Through "We Will End the Climate Crisis," you will learn the specific values of the Constitution and cultivate the power to protect your life and create healthy communities in the era of climate crisis.
Climate Action Guide for Everyone
The fastest-growing climate litigation story!
Because the climate crisis is a problem for all of us, this book was created to be of help to people experiencing the climate crisis in various walks of life.
For young people, it serves as a collection of social participation essays and case studies featuring their peers as protagonists; for teachers, it serves as educational material that can be used in curriculum-linked and integrated classes; for civic group activists, it serves as a campaign tool that encourages empathy and participation; and for those feeling helpless, it serves as a warm prescription for overcoming climate depression.
So, this book is not just something that a wide range of people can read and relate to, but it is also designed to be diverse enough to lead them to take direct climate action.
From touching episodes of youth claimants and their lawyers, to "Woodpecker Notes" filled with knowledge and discussion questions about law and climate, to a "Timeline" outlining the process of climate litigation with photographs, the book is filled with engaging and informative elements.
There are many ways to use it, but the message this book wants to convey is one.
Rather than giving up and becoming discouraged in the face of the climate crisis, let's join hands and powerfully proclaim "the right to happiness, the right to live like a human being."
And above all, let's all continue to enjoy climate action together.
We hope that with "We Will End the Climate Crisis," the first book to address climate litigation in South Korea, we can begin incredible climate action here and now.
