Recent legal rulings—including 2025’s landmark International Court of Justice recognizing that states have obligations under international law to prevent and mitigate climate change—are paving the way for global legal action to hold the world’s biggest polluters accountable for their contributions to climate change. The Carbon Majors database—which tracks emissions from the world’s largest oil, gas, coal, and cement producers going back to 1854—will play a key role in substantiating these claims.
In this webinar, InfluenceMap—joined by speakers from Doughty Street Chambers and Greenpeace—will discuss new and ongoing efforts to hold the world’s largest corporate emitters legally accountable for their contributions to climate change and how the Carbon Majors database can support this work.
This webinar is open to all, with a specific focus on lawyers, academics, and NGOs seeking to understand the landscape of global legal accountability for fossil fuel producers.
Attendees will hear directly from the experts leading efforts to hold the world’s largest corporate polluters accountable—exploring climate attribution science and strategic litigation that are turning climate accountability from theory into real-world impact for affected communities.
