Montana Republicans urge state high court to reverse landmark youth climate ruling
- Montana Republicans are pushing the state Supreme Court to reverse a significant youth climate ruling stating the state violates residents' clean environment rights by approving fossil fuel projects without considering climate impacts.
- The 2023 ruling favored young plaintiffs, deeming the state in violation and was supported by natural resource companies, the state Chamber of Commerce, and Montana's largest power utility.
- This decision's outcome could influence similar cases in states like Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and New York with comparable environmental protections. Youth-led lawsuits are rising nationwide, with Hawaii recently settling a suit to decarbonize its transit system.
