Montana Youth Climate Case
Montana is one of only a handful of states that recognizes a constitutional right to a clean and healthy environment, including the climate. With our partners at Our Children’s Trust and the McGarvey Law Offices, we are representing 16 youths who, like us, believe Montana supporting and promoting a fossil fuel-driven energy system that contributes to the climate crisis violates these rights. Early next year, we’ll be in court advancing the first youth climate case to go to trial in U.S. history.
