The youth argued the state of Montana violates their constitutional rights by barring the consideration of greenhouse gas emissions in the state’s permitting process.
The case stemmed from amendments made in the Montana Environmental Policy Act that prevented state agencies from taking climate change impacts and GHG emissions into consideration when conducting environmental reviews.
