摘要

背景:在全球范围内,人们对气候变化的担忧日益增加,科学共识通过不可否认的全球气温上升证实了这一点。这种不可动摇的趋势可归咎于人为活动,特别是不可再生资源的燃烧,如石油和天然气的使用。因此,迫切需要遏制温室气体排放,并向更环保的能源过渡。近年来,油气行业因其在温室气体排放中所扮演的角色而受到严格审查,并面临许多法律挑战。气候变化诉讼已成为加强企业责任和促进采用可持续能源替代品的有效工具。方法:采用考虑法律、环境、经济和社会方面的多方面策略进行彻底检查。该研究包括对与气候变化和油气行业相关的国内和国际法律法规的详尽评估。此外,还考虑了有关排放标准、管理机构、碳定价机制以及影响该行业的其他气候相关政策的各种二手来源。此外,还审查了相关的判例法记录和争端解决制度,以评估现有法律框架的效力。结果和结论:人们注意到,近年来,全球范围内有关气候变化的法律纠纷数量显著增加。这些法律行动旨在确定公司的责任,并鼓励采用生态上可持续的能源。石油和天然气工业是温室气体排放的重要贡献者,这对当地和全球的生态都造成了不利影响。气候变化的主要原因是温室气体的排放,如果要有效应对气候变化带来的挑战,限制温室气体的排放至关重要。

The Consequences of Legal Challenges for Oil and Gas Industry: Global Trends in Climate Change Litigation and Management
Background: Globally, there is mounting concern regarding climate change, which scientific consensus confirms through the undeniable rise in global temperatures. The blame for this unwavering trend can be attributed to anthropogenic activities, specifically non-renewable resource combustion like oil and gas usage. Consequently, there is an urgent need to curb greenhouse gas emissions and make the transition towards more eco-friendly energy sources. In recent years, the oil and gas sector has come under scrutiny and faced numerous legal challenges due to its role in perpetuating greenhouse gas emissions. Climate change litigation has emerged as an effective instrument for enforcing corporate accountability and promoting the adoption of sustainable energy alternatives. Methods: A thorough examination was carried out using a multi-faceted strategy that took into account legal, environmental, economic, and social aspects. The study encompassed an exhaustive assessment of both domestic and international laws and regulations relevant to climate change and the oil and gas sector. Moreover, various secondary sources concerning emission standards governing bodies, carbon pricing mechanisms, as well as other climate- related policies impacting the industry were also taken into consideration. Furthermore, pertinent case law records and dispute resolution systems were examined to evaluate the efficacy of existing legal frameworks. Results and conclusion: It has been noted that there has been a notable escalation in the number of legal disputes regarding climate change worldwide in recent times. These legal actions are intended to determine corporate accountability and encourage the implementation of ecologically sustainable sources of energy. The petroleum and natural gas industry is a significant contributor to the emission of greenhouse gases, which causes detrimental ecological effects both locally and globally. The key cause of climate change is the release of greenhouse gases, and it is crucial for this sector to limit these emissions if it is to effectively tackle the challenges posed by climate change.
