The provision is accordingly unconstitutional, the court said.
The win, experts say, could energize the environmental movement and reshape climate litigation across the country, ushering in a wave of cases aimed at advancing action on climate change. wapo.st/3QCvKfu
Congratulations to Kelsea Best, whose research @SESYNC focused on climate gentrification's influence on coastal communities to help decision-makers adopt more just and equitable policies! 👇sesync.org/research/climate-…
Best’s research focuses on understanding how climate change interacts with human societies and infrastructure, how people may adapt to climate change effects, and how climate adaptation measures can be designed and implemented in a just and equitable way.
