  • Eva Lighthiser, 19, of Montana, the lead plaintiff in Lighthiser v. Trump, a climate lawsuit, poses for a portrait at the US Capitol in Washington, DC, on July 16, 2025. A group of young Americans is suing the Trump administration, arguing its aggressive fossil fuel agenda is not only accelerating climate change but violating their constitutional rights. In 2023, a Montana judge sided with youth plaintiffs who argued the state’s failure to consider climate impacts when issuing oil and gas permits violated their right to a clean environment. A year later in Hawaii, young activists reached a settlement to accelerate decarbonization of the transport sector.
