2024 climate litigation outlook: Activists predict surge in climate lawsuits targeting Big Oil and major companies

"Why 2024 will be a crucial year for climate litigation", 22 Jan 2024

More than two dozen local and state governments are challenging oil companies... while youth plaintiffs have seven pending lawsuits targeting state and federal lawmakers.

State and local governments are expected to bring new suits against big oil...

New legal theories are also gaining steam. In recent years, governments have alleged that fossil fuel companies have broken racketeering laws by conspiring to sow doubt about climate crisis.

...Multnomah County complaint was the first to target the consulting firm McKinsey - a sign of a burgeoning focus on firms that are said to enable oil companies.

A wave of suits are attempting to hold corporations such as Delta Airlines, Nike and Etsy accountable for greenwashing...

Other complaints are attempting to hold plastic producers accountable for environmental damages, in part due to climate impacts.

Companies are fighting back against climate advocates...

Exxon filed a lawsuit to block a vote on a climate resolution brought by Follow This, a Dutch green activist investor group.

...A Dutch court will consider an appeal of a ruling against Shell that for the first time in history required a private company to curb its greenhouse gas emissions. The suit was brought by the Dutch arm of... Friends of the Earth, which also sued ING bank over accusations that it is fuelling the climate crisis.
