Held News Victory Landscape

In a historic ruling today, the Montana Supreme Court affirmed the decision of the district court in the landmark case, Held v. State of Montana, siding with the 16 youth plaintiffs who had sued the state over its promotion of fossil fuel extraction and failure to consider climate change impacts in decision-making. This ruling, the first of its kind from a state supreme court, affirms the district court’s ruling that the state’s actions perpetuating a fossil fuel energy system violated the youth plaintiffs’ fundamental constitutional rights to a clean and healthful environment, dignity, and safety, reinforcing the growing legal momentum behind youth-led climate justice movements.
