Climate-related litigation risk is the long-term risk that lawsuits targeting companies with high cumulated past emissions create liabilities, based on the company’s share of responsibility in the cost of global warming. It is not limited to direct emissions and likely to occur in countries where extra-territorial jurisdiction and class action lawsuits exist.
