Gustavus,Juliana V. United States,Linnea Lentfer

The case, Sagoonick v. State II, argues that the Alaska constitution includes a right to a livable climate.

Linnea Lentfer is one of eight plaintiffs represented by Our Children’s Trust in a lawsuit against the state over climate change and fossil fuel development.

Lentfer is 20 and now a student at Carleton College in Minnesota. She said she’d like to return to Gustavus to raise a family one day, but worries that the things she loves best about the community are disappearing. Welle is a senior attorney for Our Children’s Trust, the nonprofit representing the eight young Alaskans.

In a statement, Alaska Attorney General Treg Taylor called the lawsuit “misguided.” He argued that Alaska’s strict environmental standards make it a better, more responsible place to produce natural gas than elsewhere in the world.
