Supreme Court & Climate Litigation
The Supreme Court has declined to hear a case brought by Republican-led states seeking to block climate change lawsuits initiated by Democratic-led states. This decision allows these lawsuits to hold fossil fuel companies accountable for climate-related damages to proceed in lower courts. This marks a significant development in the ongoing legal battles surrounding climate change accountability.
