Supreme Court Weighs Suncor v. Boulder Climate Lawsuit
Original: Suncor v. Boulder Brings Future of State Climate Litigation Before Supreme Court
The US Supreme Court is taking up Suncor v. Boulder, a case that could determine the future of state and municipal climate litigation. At issue is whether Colorado's lawsuit seeking damages from Suncor and ExxonMobil for climate-related harms belongs in state court, with the outcome expected to shape how similar climate liability cases proceed across the country.
Why now: The Supreme Court's involvement could set a precedent determining whether local governments can pursue climate damages suits against energy companies in state courts.
