A tale of two companies.

Chevron’s climate plan involves ignoring 90% of its emissions and trying to offset the rest (with implausible technologies and inadequate - or actively harmful - approaches).

Atlassian’s climate guide claims that to make good on science-based climate pledges, companies (including them) need to reduce 90% of emissions and then (if necessary) offset the rest

CLIMATE STRATEGY:

1 RESEARCH FOSSIL FUEL IMPACTS,
2 QUANTIFY DAMAGES,
3 LITIGATE LIABILITY,
4 SECURE JUDGMENT, AND
5 COLLECT FROM CORPORATE WRONGDOERS

The authors calculated that cumulative reparations owed by the 21 companies totalled $5.44trn, which they suggest should be paid over a 25-year period between 2025 and 2050, equalling on average $209bn per year.

“The world’s top #FossilFuel companies owe at least $209bn in annual #Climate reparations to compensate communities most damaged by their polluting business and decades of lies, a new study calculates.”
“This new report puts the numbers on the table – polluters can no longer hide from their crimes against humanity and nature.”

GGJ stands with frontline communities demanding global #climatereparations. Black, Indigenous, people of color, poor communities in the United States are also disproportionately impacted by the #climatecrisis. GGJ’s Policy Director Adrien Salazar lays the case for climate reparations in the United States: https://rooseveltinstitute.org/publications/the-case-for-climate-reparations-in-the-united-states/

"I take climate reparations to be a reconstruction of our global system in the direction of serving people rather than portfolios, and broadly distributing the costs of that project toward the richer countries and big emitters."

From War on Want (UK)

The call for climate reparations
It is time the UK and other rich industrialised Global North countries took responsibility for fuelling the climate crisis — having produced the majority of all-time global carbon emissions — by paying climate reparations to countries in the Global South.

The call for climate reparations is about making those who did the most to cause the climate crisis take responsibility for their impacts. Countries in the Global South have contributed the least to cause the climate crisis, yet are experiencing the worst impacts of climate breakdown, from economic damages to the loss of people’s lands and cultures.

By climate reparations, we mean that countries must:

Stop doing harm, by rapidly cutting their carbon emissions,
Repair harm, by providing technology and finance to support people around the world to adapt to the crisis,
Compensate for harm that cannot be repaired, via payments to Global South countries for loss and damage.
The UN Environment Programme’s Adaptation Gap Report (2022) conservatively estimates that around $500 billion a year is needed for climate adaptation measures alone.

In light of #COP27 I'm reposting this piece on making the fossil fuel companies pay for the mess we are in that I wrote for Overland in March.

Australian fossil fuel companies are projected to export more than $379bn worth of oil and gas by June this year. According to research from Market Forces, as many as sixty-two of these companies paid no tax in 2019-20.

As we process the magnitude of these floods, while still trying to make sense of the black summer fires, it is clear that we are going to need significant resources to manage the ongoing, rolling crises that will define our lives in the decades to come.

As these impacts become more and more frequent, we need to organise around the idea that those responsible for the climate crisis must pay for the mess they have made.

@TheConversationUS yep!!! recovery from the latest #floods will cost at least $16 billion dollars. wealthy countries promised in 2009 to mobilise $100 billion per year to help vulnerable states. that still hasn’t come through 🤷🏻‍♀️

Pakistan is a good example of why countries are talking about #climatereparations at #COP27. A third of its land flooded in a devastating climate disaster this summer, but it contributes only about 1% of the emissions driving #climatechange.
