Funk v. Wolf

In a one-sentence order, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court affirmed the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court’s dismissal of a proceeding to compel Pennsylvania agencies and officials to develop and implement a comprehensive plan to regulate greenhouse gases. The petitioners had contended that the Environmental Rights Amendment of the Pennsylvania Constitution obligated the respondents to undertake such actions. The Commonwealth Court concluded that the petitioners did not have a “clear right” to have the respondents to pursue the studies, regulations, and other actions sought by the petitioners.
