U.S. Supreme Court declines to hear climate lawsuit filed by young activists, ending decade-long case.

The U.S. Supreme Court has refused to hear a climate lawsuit filed by 21 young people, ending a decade-long legal battle. The plaintiffs argued that the U.S. government's actions promoting fossil fuels violated their constitutional rights to a stable climate. Despite the case's dismissal, it has inspired global youth-led climate activism, and the nonprofit representing the plaintiffs, Our Children's Trust, plans further legal action based on similar constitutional principles.
