Young Montanans and their lawyers announced Monday that the first children’s climate trial in U.S. history is set to begin a year from now in Helena, Montana.

The historic trial in the constitutional climate lawsuit Held v. State of Montana is scheduled for February 6 through February 17, 2023 at the First Judicial District Court.

“Going to trial means a chance for me and my fellow plaintiffs to have our climate injuries recognized and a solution realized,” said Grace, one of the 16 plaintiffs, in a statement.

“It means our voices are actually being heard by the courts, the government, the people who serve to protect us as citizens, and Montana’s youth,” she added.
