Business & Human Rights Resource Centre. "Turning Up the Heat: Corporate Legal Accountability for Climate Change". (1514764800)2018. https://media.business-humanrights.org/...

This briefing demonstrates that communities and advocates are increasingly using the courts to generate change and confront companies on their responsibility for climate harm.  It argues that strategic litigation encourages corporate accountability for climate change and broader corporate accountability movements when governments have repeatedly failed to take steps to adequately combat climate change.  It suggests that climate lawsuits against companies are the result of increased collaboration between concerned individuals, cities, human rights and climate advocates, scientists and expert litigators, who have combined their respective expertise and strategies for corporate accountability.
