Balancing simplicity and complexity through corporate emissions benchmarking
Evaluating fossil fuel companies’ alignment with 1.5 °C climate pathways
Time to pay the piper
Litigating the Climate Emergency
As the climate emergency intensifies, rights-based climate cases – litigation that is based on human rights law – are becoming an increasingly important tool for securing more ambitious climate action. This book is the first to offer a systematic analysis of the universe of these cases known as human rights and climate change (HRCC) cases. By combining theory, empirical documentation, and strategic debate among preeminent scholars and practitione…
White knights, or horsemen of the apocalypse? Prospects for Big Oil to align emissions with a 1.5 °C pathway
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions must decrease rapidly in order to keep temperatures from exceeding 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels. It is unclear if the oil and gas majors will contribute towards this goal by decarbonising at the speed and scale required. Therefore, this study focuses on BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil, and Royal Dutch Shell, the top four investor-owned companies by size of direct and indirect historical GHG emissions. Scientists at th…
Attributing ocean acidification to major carbon producers
Recent research has quantified the contributions of CO 2 and CH 4 emissions traced to the products of major fossil fuel companies and cement manufacturers to global atmospheric CO 2 , surface temperature, and sea level rise. This work has informed societal considerations of the climate responsibilities of these major industrial carbon producers. Here, we extend this work to historical (1880–2015) and recent (1965–2015) acidification of the world’…
The climate responsibilities of industrial carbon producers
Responsibility for climate change lies at the heart of societal debate over actions to address it. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change established the principle of “common but differentiated responsibilities” among nations, suggesting that industrialized nations that had produced the greatest share of historic emissions bore particular responsibility for preventing dangerous interference with the climate system. But climate …
Potential emissions of CO2 and methane from proved reserves of fossil fuels
Scientists have argued that no more than 275 GtC (IPCC, 2013) of the world’s reserves of fossil fuels of 746 GtC can be produced in this century if the world is to restrict anthropogenic climate change to ≤2 °C. This has raised concerns about the risk of these reserves becoming “stranded assets” and creating a dangerous “carbon bubble” with serious impacts on global financial markets, leading in turn to discussions of appropriate investor and con…
Tracing anthropogenic carbon dioxide and methane emissions to fossil fuel and cement producers, 1854–2010
This paper presents a quantitative analysis of the historic fossil fuel and cement production records of the 50 leading investor-owned, 31 state-owned, and 9 nation-state producers of oil, natural gas, coal, and cement from as early as 1854 to 2010. This analysis traces emissions totaling 914 GtCO 2 e—63 % of cumulative worldwide emissions of industrial CO 2 and methane between 1751 and 2010—to the 90 “carbon major” entities based on the carbon c…
