Although environmental cases were not the central focus of the Supreme Court’s merits docket during its October Term 2025 (covering 2025-26), the Court’s decisions addressed issues at the foundation of environmental law: federalism, separation of powers, and limits on agency authority. Next Term, the Court will continue to answer constitutional and procedural questions, but it will also hear environmental cases involving the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, and climate change litigation.
