Japan Citizens Sue Government Over Climate Inaction

A group of 450 people in Japan are suing their government because they believe the government is not doing enough to stop climate change.

They say the hot weather is making it hard for workers like Kiichi Akiyama to do their jobs and is even dangerous for children like Saito's son, who can't play outside safely.

The plaintiffs want the government to take more responsibility and are asking for a small amount of money as damages.

This is the first time people in Japan are suing the government directly for not acting on climate change.

Other countries, like South Korea and Germany, have had similar lawsuits that succeeded.

The plaintiffs hope this lawsuit will make more people aware of the problem.
