Montana Youth Take on High-Profile Climate Trial with Indigenous Experiences and Urgent Calls for Action.

A group of young activists in Montana are undertaking one of the world's most high-profile climate trials, challenging the state's failure to protect their constitutional right to a clean and healthful environment. The lawsuit, which has faced numerous attempts to prevent it from coming to trial, focuses on a part of the Montana Constitution that says "the state and each person shall maintain and improve a clean and healthful environment in Montana for present and future generations." The young plaintiffs are seeking a transition to cleaner energy over the next 30 years to move away from fossil fuels.
