Montana ’s Supreme Court upholds landmark climate ruling that said the state was violating residents’ constitutional right to a clean environment.

The justices, in a 6 -1 ruling, upheld an August 2023 decision by a state judge that was considered a breakthrough in attempts by young environmentalists to use the courts to leverage action on climate change.

Republican Gov. Greg Gianforte says the state is still reviewing the decision, but said it will lead to "perpetual lawsuits".
