Forcing Climate Change Compliance
, 48 Harv. Envtl. L. Rev. 437 (2024).

Climate change is inflicting significant environmental damage. The “Carbon Majors,” a group of around 100 companies, are responsible for an outsized share of the greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change. Yet, the Carbon Majors have resisted changes to their business model. In recent years, more than two dozen cities, counties, and states have filed lawsuits seeking compensation from the Carbon Majors for climate change mitigation costs. We contend that those lawsuits create an opportunity, not only to compensate for past harms, but to prevent further fossil fuel investments. To that end, we propose an equitable remedy: the judicial appointment of independent compliance monitors with plenary power to access corporate information and institute governance changes. Once embedded within corporations, monitors would prevent “greenwashing” ploys and help guide corporations through the difficult tradeoffs involved in rapid decarbonization. By implementing robust compliance controls within the corporations most responsible for climate change, monitors could play a vital role in advancing the transition to a green economy.
