Supreme Court to weigh climate liability suit against energy companies
Original: Supreme Court to consider whether suit may go forward seeking to hold energy companies liable for climate change
The US Supreme Court has agreed to consider whether a lawsuit seeking to hold major energy companies financially liable for climate change may proceed. The case tests whether oil and gas producers can be sued over the damages caused by their emissions, a question that could shape the future of climate litigation in the United States and determine whether similar claims move forward in courts nationwide.
Why now: The Supreme Court taking up a case that could establish whether energy companies can be held liable for climate damages is a landmark development in climate litigation.
