摘要

近年来,关于企业气候责任的辩论变得越来越突出。一些国家,特别是全球北方国家,已通过强制性人权和/或环境尽职调查立法。与此同时,司法和准司法程序正在帮助塑造企业气候责任的轮廓。本文考虑了针对公司的诉讼和尽职调查立法如何相互作用,从而有助于发展和加强公司的气候问责制。虽然这一领域的实践仍然有限,但仍有空间反思早期的发展,以及它们如何影响未来的气候诉讼以及正在进行和未来的尽职调查立法。我们首先回顾了针对企业的气候诉讼的最新进展,重点关注它们在多大程度上依赖于气候尽职调查义务。然后,我们调查了现有的和拟议的尽职调查立法,检查了它在多大程度上解决了企业的气候责任。最后,我们确定了尽职调查立法和气候诉讼如何相互作用并可能趋同以加强企业气候问责制的情景。我们进一步确定知识差距和进一步研究的领域。

Mandatory due diligence laws and climate change litigation: Bridging the corporate climate accountability gap?
The debate on corporate climate accountability has become increasingly prominent in recent years. Several countries, particularly in the Global North, have adopted mandatory human rights and/or environmental due diligence legislation. At the same time, judicial and quasi-judicial proceedings are helping to shape the contours of corporate climate accountability. This article considers how litigation against corporations and due diligence legislation interact, and thereby help develop and strengthen corporate climate accountability. While the practice in this area is still limited, there is scope to reflect on early developments and how they may influence both future climate litigation as well as ongoing and future law-making on due diligence. We first review recent developments in climate litigation against corporations, focusing on the extent to which they rely on climate due diligence obligations. We then survey existing and proposed due diligence legislation, examining the extent to which it addresses corporate climate accountability. Finally, we identify scenarios of how due diligence legislation and climate litigation may interact and possibly converge to strengthen corporate climate accountability. We furthermore identify knowledge gaps and areas for further research.

期刊介绍: Regulation & Governance serves as the leading platform for the study of regulation and governance by political scientists, lawyers, sociologists, historians, criminologists, psychologists, anthropologists, economists and others. Research on regulation and governance, once fragmented across various disciplines and subject areas, has emerged at the cutting edge of paradigmatic change in the social sciences. Through the peer-reviewed journal Regulation & Governance, we seek to advance discussions between various disciplines about regulation and governance, promote the development of new theoretical and empirical understanding, and serve the growing needs of practitioners for a useful academic reference.
