Across the United States, climate change remains at the forefront of public debate and policy as a series of significant developments emerges this September. In Missoula, Montana, a group of twenty-two young plaintiffs from Montana, Oregon, Hawaii, California, and Florida is taking unprecedented legal action. Their lawsuit, Lighthiser versus Trump, challenges recent executive orders that they argue could heighten the climate crisis and worsen health impacts for the next generation. The case is particularly notable, as federal court hearings on September sixteenth and seventeenth mark the first time that a constitutional climate case led by young people is being heard with live testimony, according to coverage by One Earth Film Fest.
Meanwhile, the Environmental Protection Agency under the Trump administration is moving to rescind the foundational Endangerment Finding, a key finding from two thousand nine that identified greenhouse gases as a threat to public health and welfare. If successful, this would halt the practice of quantifying and assigning monetary value to greenhouse gas emissions, a move that has drawn sharp criticism from environmental advocates across Michigan and elsewhere, as reported by Kalamazoo Climate Crisis Coalition. Residents and activists are urging the public to submit comments supporting the scientific consensus on climate change before the window closes on September twenty-second.
Renewable energy and innovation are also drawing attention nationwide. September twenty-first is set as Sun Day, a national day of action celebrating solar and wind power, with community events ranging from electric vehicle and e-bike parades to educational workshops on heat pumps and solar installation. This event is organized by Third Act and underscores the growing public and policy support for clean energy as both the cheapest and fastest-growing source of new power in the United States, as reported by Sun Day and One Earth Film Fest.
While legislative action continues, California has extended its state cap-and-trade program, reaffirming aggressive climate goals in the nation’s most populous state, according to ABC News. At the same time, a recent study highlighted by ABC News links frequent and severe heat waves in the United States to pollution from major fossil fuel producers, pointing to clear and increasing risks from ongoing carbon emissions.
These developments are part of a broader pattern of heightened political and legal struggle over federal climate regulation and accelerating efforts by states and local advocates to advance clean energy and community resilience. On the global stage, the upcoming Global Climate Action and Sustainability Summit in Los Angeles and international gatherings in Berlin and Paris reflect a growing recognition that solutions must be bold, multidisciplinary, and inclusive. In the U.S. and around the world, the consequences of climate change are more visible and urgent than ever, driving policy debates, courtrooms confrontations, and grassroots mobilization as the drive for a sustainable future intensifies.
