 The state of Montana is appealing a lower court ruling that sided with the 16 youth plaintiffs. That judge found the state's fossil fuel-friendly policies contribute to climate change and violate the plaintiff's constitutional right to a clean and healthy environment. The state appealed the decision, saying Montana is not solely responsible for climate change, so the state cannot fix it. Montana's case was the first youth-led climate lawsuit to go to trial last June. This hearing comes on the heels of similar climate litigation led by the national law firm Our Children's Trust.
