Boulder climate lawsuit reaches the Supreme Court
Original: Boulder’s climate case gets its most consequential audience yet: The Supreme Court
The city of Boulder, Colorado's climate liability case has reached the US Supreme Court, its most significant forum yet. The case seeks damages from energy companies for climate-related costs, and the justices' decision on whether to hear or intervene could determine whether local governments can pursue such lawsuits in state courts.
Why now: The Supreme Court's involvement could set a precedent for dozens of similar local government climate suits across the country.
