Montana Supreme Court Upholds Climate Rights Ruling
Montana's high court unanimously upholds a 2023 ruling that the state violates residents' constitutional right to a clean environment by approving fossil fuel projects without considering greenhouse gas emissions. The decision, praised by plaintiffs and opposed by Gov. Gianforte, reinforces broader legal actions on climate impact despite state energy policy. Lead plaintiff Rikki Held calls it a victory for youth facing climate threats.
