Big Oil in Court - The latest trends in climate litigation against fossil fuel companies by Oil Change International and Zero Carbon Analytics reveals that at least 86 climate lawsuits have been filed against the world’s largest oil, gas, and coal producing corporations – including BP, Chevron, Eni, ExxonMobil, Shell, and TotalEnergies. The number of cases filed against fossil fuel companies each year has nearly tripled since the Paris Agreement was reached in 2015, highlighting a growing global movement to hold fossil fuel companies accountable for their role in the climate crisis.

  2. Challenges to misleading advertising claims by companies about the climate and environment (16%); and 

  3. Requirements for companies to reduce their emissions(12%).
