Montana youth sue the state for climate inaction

A group of climate-conscious young citizens in Montana have taken the state to court for not doing enough to address climate change. They argue that the state's energy policies, which favor fossil fuels over renewables, violate their constitutional right to a clean and healthy environment. The lawsuit resulted in a district court ruling in favor of the plaintiffs, stating that the state cannot ban considering climate change impacts when evaluating new energy projects. While the ruling does not compel the state to take emissions into account, it is seen as a significant milestone and may lead to more climate litigation and green amendments in other states.
