Youth plaintiffs in the climate change lawsuit, Held vs. Montana, arrive at the Lewis and Clark County Courthouse, on June 20, 2023, in Helena, Mont., for the final day of the trial. A Montana judge in August 2023 sided with young environmental activists who said state agencies were violating their constitutional right to a clean and healthful environment by permitting fossil fuel development without considering its effect on the climate. Montana's Supreme Court declined on Tuesday, Jan. 16, 2024, to stay the ruling pending the state's appeal. (Thom Bridge/Independent Record via AP, File)
