The case argues a constitutional right to a clean environment, which would force the state to make climate impacts a consideration before an energy project's approval.

Our Children's Trust is backed by the organization which funded the Tar Sands campaign, The Rockefeller Foundation

The Tar Sands campaign was a largely successful effort by foreign-funded environmentalist charities to landlock Alberta's oil and gas from international markets.

On August 14th, Montana district judge Kathy Seeley ruled in favour of the child plaintiffs.
