Haub Visiting Scholar Discussion
Across the country, states and local governments are pursuing lawsuits against fossil fuel companies in state courts, seeking compensation for climate-related harms under various tort theories. On October 5, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Suncor Energy Inc. v. County Commissioners of Boulder County, a case that could have significant implications for whether these lawsuits can proceed.
Join former Haub Visiting Scholar Dr. Sam Bookman of Melbourne Law School and Professor Katrina Kuh for a timely discussion of the case, including its broader significance, key takeaways from the oral arguments, and predictions for how the Supreme Court may ultimately rule.
