Attribution science has crossed a threshold that boards and senior executives can no longer ignore. Peer-reviewed research now links the emissions of named companies to specific economic damages, and courts in multiple jurisdictions are accepting this science as the basis for civil liability claims.
This course covers how climate attribution science works and what it has established, the current state of global climate litigation (including Milieudefensie v. Shell, Vermont and New York Climate Superfund Acts, and the 2025 Nature study findings), ecocide as an emerging legal concept, the implications for Scope 3 data quality as a legal — not just a disclosure — requirement, and what boards and governance teams should be building now: emissions data quality, independent assurance, supply chain traceability, and legally defensible disclosure practices.
The course draws directly on current case law, regulatory developments, and scientific literature. Suitable for board members, general counsel, risk managers, and senior sustainability executives.
