Richard (Rick) Heede led the Climate Accountability Institute's “Carbon Majors” project, which traced emissions to major corporate fossil fuel producers. This work, published in 2013 in Climatic Change and featured in The Guardian, is now updated by InfluenceMap. Rick has analyzed emissions from fossil fuel companies' proven reserves against the carbon budget and modelled their climate impacts. He has also explored how responsible oil and gas companies can align with the Paris Agreement, identified problematic governance policies, and quantified climate reparations owed by leading fossil fuel companies. Currently, he investigates the attribution of heatwaves to specific companies and advocates for a “climate superfund” fee on carbon producers.
Founded in 2011, the Climate Accountability Institute provides a scientific basis for climate stewardship. Rick published his thesis, A Geography of Carbon, with NCAR in 1983, worked at the Rocky Mountain Institute from 1984 to 2001, and consulted with Climate Mitigation Services from 2001 to 2011.
