Today, the highest court of Montana agreed: Children have fundamental rights to a safe and livable climate!!

16 Montana youth held their government accountable for harming their fundamental rights to health, safety, liberty, dignity, equal protection of the law, and a clean and healthful environment. Our youth clients’ voices were heard. The Montana Supreme Court has upheld science-based protections for a safe and healthy climate, affirming that fossil fuel pollution is incompatible with children’s constitutional rights and that an environmental life support system includes a stable climate system.

This was a resounding 6:1 victory!

This landmark decision is now firmly embedded in Montana’s constitutional law, ensuring that no politician can revoke these protections, today or in the future.

Fifteen years ago, Our Children’s Trust boldly represented the first young people to assert their constitutional climate rights. Today, that spark has ignited a global movement.

The fundamental rights of children depend on our work—we absolutely cannot do this work without you.

Help us bring more children’s climate rights campaigns to more states across the United States. Help us WIN!
