Another Landmark Legal Victory Out of Montana Demonstrates the Power of Green Amendment Protections – including for addressing the climate crisis.
December 18, 2024 — Just in time for the holiday celebrations, the Montana State Supreme Court affirmed that – as result of the Montana State Constitution’s Green Amendment language – there is a constitutional duty on government agencies and officials in the state to consider the greenhouse gas emissions and climate changing ramifications of their actions.
Why has this case succeeded when so many similar cases brought at the state and federal level have failed? Because in Montana there is a state constitutional provision that meets all of the essential criteria of a “Green Amendment”.
This most recent environmental and climate victory will strengthen the ability and obligation of government officials and the courts in the state of Montana to meaningfully address the climate crisis – and also strengthen the ability of advocates to fight for essential environmental and climate protections. This incredible victory – secured by an honorable collective of environmental organizations and activists from the state of Montana – further strengthens the power and importance of securing constitutional Green Amendments in every state across our nation and ultimately at the federal level.
You can read more about the most recent Held v. Montana legal victory, as well as other cases that succeeded because of Green Amendment language, on the Legal and Advocacy Precedents page of our website.
