Climate Change Lawsuit Breakthroughs?

Two big environmental issues have had some legal actions recently. There is possible progress towards environmentally friendly solutions in both.

• John Dernbach is an internationally recognized authority on sustainable development, climate change, and environmental law, as well as Emeritus Professor of Environmental Law and Sustainability at Widener University Commonwealth Law School. He talks about the implications of a recent decision in the court case Held v. Montana.  A court allowed young people to bring their climate change suit against Montana.  This decision may affect law suits in Pennsylvania and elsewhere.
• Tracy Carluccio is the Deputy Director of the Delaware Riverkeeper Network, an environmental organization that works to protect the Delaware River watershed in all four states it touches (including Pennsylvania). She discusses the tentative settlement between the company 3M and the suing affected communities.  3M is to pay $10.3 to $12.5 billion to help the suing states/communities clean PFAS from their drinking water.
